Faye Orlove, Founder of Junior Upper LA “I love to visit the Museum of Neon Art, eat lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and then walk lanugo to Junior Upper for whatever fun thing is going on. I’m not really a night person, so I love early afternoon outings. My favorite days though, are when I can watch Vanderpump Rules at home and work on my own drawings!”

Erin Remington, Director of Sales and Curation, Saatchi Art “The LA Art scene is blossoming! There are so many unconfined galleries and museums to segregate from. Los Angeles has long been trying to rival the New York art scene, and while it is still considered to be in the whence stages in comparison, there is eagerness for the prominence of fine arts in LA. Some of my favorite galleries include Regen Projects, David Kordansky, and Nino Mier. It is a unconfined way to see local and global artists exhibiting here and globally working on a upper level. 

One of the weightier things well-nigh living in LA is moreover stuff worldly-wise to explore not just fine arts, but if you are a fan of mucosa or television, there are unchangingly new movies or archetype mucosa movie theaters. The movie theater, New Beverly Cinema, only shows movies in 35mm film, where you see many cult archetype films. The eyeful of the art scene in Los Angeles is that it doesn’t pretend to be something that it isn’t.”

Tina Lai Director of Interior Projects, Masa Studio “DTLA is the heart of the most heady trendy galleries such as Hauser and Wirth which occupies an wondrous converted industrial space which used to be a former flour mill. This dynamic architectural space is my favorite to trammels out as it’s right next to Manuela’s, a unconfined spot for drinks and food.

I moreover enjoy the interactive outdoor exhibitions outside Dorothy Chandler Pavilion which are inviting and wieldy to the public, and the perfect art prelude surpassing a night out at the opera.”

In specimen you’re flying in from out-of-town and want to find your golden state of mind for the day, our Fair Director has just the itinerary.

Nicole Garton, Fair Director, Dallas and Los Angeles “My platonic “arty day out” in LA would probably squint pretty similar to my platonic day, full stop! There are uncounted itineraries I could imagine for taking in all of Los Angeles’ cultural delights, so narrowing it lanugo to one day’s waking hours is quite the challenge. I may have to wrench the rules of time and space—but as we’re in Hollywood—perhaps a bit of fantasy is the perfect tideway to exploring Tinseltown and some of my favorite LA haunts.

I’d start East, and work my way West, in a roundabout sort of way:

6AM Take in the sunrise over the Rose Bowl, while exploring the flea market’s vintage clothing, furniture, and art.

9AM Stop for coffee at Jones Coffee Roasters and enjoy it as I momentum by the Wallace Neff “Bubble House” in Pasadena, the last remaining “Airform” structure of its kind.

10AM Visit the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden for a quiet morning repose. Later this summer, the Garden will host a special evening of jazz with the Bennie Maupin Ensemble.

10:30AM Attend a revival of “Hooray LA!” at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, triumphal its 60th year of live puppet performances. HOORAY LA was first performed in 1981 to gloat the bicentennial of the Municipality of Los Angeles, and was Bob Baker’s last overly original puppet show.

12PM Pop into the Cactus Store’s Pots outpost for a squint at their latest creations. I’ll probably linger over a “shouldered” pot surpassing promising myself to return.

1PM Stop by La Azteca Tortilleria for a burrito surpassing checking out the current exhibitions at the Vincent Price Museum. This smaller museum, part of East Los Angeles College, unchangingly has really spanking-new exhibitions and is definitely worth a visit.

2PM As the summer sun starts kicking in, I’ll hibernate out for a couple hours at the Million Dollar Theater on Broadway in DTLA to reservation a movie. The Los Angeles Conservancy hosts its yearly “Last Remaining Seats” screening series, featuring classics and cult favorites like VERTIGO, METROPOLIS, and AUNTIE MAME. I love seeing movies on the big screen, and there’s nowhere in the world quite like the talkie palaces of historic Broadway.

3:30PM Printed Matter’s Los Angeles Art Book Fair returns this summer without a long hiatus, and I can’t wait to take it all in at MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary, which plays host to the event. 

4:30PM By some miracle, I make it to Tortoise General Store in West L.A. surpassing they close, with just unbearable time to trammels out their new porcelain hodgepodge and leather goods. 

6PM I backtrack to West Adams considering by now all this art and driving has me starving some pastrami, and it’s nonflexible to top Johnny’s. I’ll get something to go as I make my way lanugo south. The Compton Art & History Museum just recently opened, and I’m looking forward to visiting their show tracing the origins of Hip Hop through art, photography, and performance. 

7:30PM Dusk is just setting in over the Pacific and I make it to Santa Monica Beach just in time to reservation the tail end of pianist Murray Hidary’s ”MindTravel” concert performance, set versus the gorgeous sunset over the ocean.”
