Things to do
- Artists Take on LA: 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.
- Free Amaro Tasting: Pretend you’re on that vacation in Italy by heading up to Highland Park for a free amaro tasting by local California spirits producer Brucato Amaro at the Arroyo Club. The brand will be on hand to do guided tastings of three types of amaro; they’ve also created special amaro-based cocktails available for purchase.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
