Pico Blvd Artwalk and Vintage Auto Show
If you consider the '68 Camaro a work of art, then this street festival is for you. Today the city of Santa Monica provides a backdrop for an auto show that not only features classic cars but music, glass-blowing, ceramics, painting, poetry, photography, wood carving, sculpture and jewelry making as well. Hop on one of the two double-decker Skyline Tour buses that will run up and down the street to ensure you take it all in. 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. today at Pico and Centinela.

LACMA's Slow Art
We've all heard of slow food, but slow art? Today Reading Odyssey invites art aficionados and neophytes alike to the LACMA not to peruse but to take in individual pieces for a full 10 to 60 minutes in an attempt have the observer "see art in a new way - to exercise their seeing, thinking and listening muscles." The event is free but the networking lunch is on you. Register here.

Carnivale of Creation
LA's Creative Collective puts on a circus act tonight showcasing aerialists, jugglers, magicians, crafts, psychics, clowns and dance troupes with music by Ketchup Soup, Killsonic, Helios Jive, MacDracula and many more. We're most intrigued by the promise of "speed date painting." 7 - 11 p.m. at Golden Bridge Yoga.

Rollerstar
Do you long for those old-school roller rink days when you could coast on 8 wheels amid dizzying ceiling lights and disco classics? If so, a dose of Rollerstar at Club 740 may be the fix you need. Venice Beach skating diva Wendy Walz stars in this theatrical event which features projected imagery, a diverse soundtrack and killer roller moves on a 360-degree stage.
