Topline:
Downtown Los Angeles’ annual Grand Ave Arts: All Access is back to mark almost a decade of free shows and activities. Over a dozen cultural institutions will open their doors to the public on Saturday for a few hours.
What’s happening? Some of L.A.’s best spots for art and music along Grand Avenue, including the Museum of Contemporary Art and the L.A. Opera, will have things to do. You can catch live performances and tours every hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What can I do? Among the myriad activities, you could go wild at the Colburn School’s “instrument petting zoo,” learn from L.A. Phil pros on how to listen to live music, and make sugar skulls for Día de los Muertos at the central library.
Where do I go? All of the events cover just over a half mile of Grand Avenue (see a map here), from Temple Street to 6th Street. You’ll have to get your own parking or take public transit. Visitors are encouraged to RSVP online.
