LACMA is hosting a screening of Ed Ruscha’s short film Elysian Park and the Stone Quarry Hills and a conversation about creating art in and about Los Angeles at the Academy Museum, the museum's new neighbor. It’s a great complement to this summer’s big Ed Ruscha exhibit and an opportunity to learn more about a range of artists who live and work here. Artists Judy Baca, Vincent Valez, and Ruscha himself will be on a panel moderated by LACMA CEO Michael Govan.
