Tonight, the 7th Annual Art Crawl kicks off across the eastside landscape of Silverlake, Los Feliz and Echo Park. The free, self-guided event runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Admission is $5.00, which also allows attendees acess to the "Album Cover Art Retrospective" post-crawl party. The Crawl continues throughout the weekend, running from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
At 7:00 PM, head for Pasadena and Norton Simon Museum to listen to Colin B. Bailey's lecture "Towards a Thinking Man’s Boucher: Myth and Genre in Boucher’s Art." Bailey is Chief Curator of The Frick Collection, tackling the divide between Boucher's reputation as a libertine and the more poetic subjects of his art. "This lecture offers a reappraisal of Boucher, presenting him as an inspired creator of narratives from religion and mythology, as well as a witty and knowing chronicler of gallantry and flirtation."
At LACMA, the film series Monty: The Films of Montgomery Clift continues at 7:30 PM with a screening of 1953's I Confess, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, followed by 1962's Freud, directed by John Huston.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
