If you’re a mountain biker looking for a great way to give back to the community, here’s your big chance. Heal the Bay and the Mountains Restoration Trust are in search of 20 volunteer bikers willing to get down and dirty this Saturday, June 23, from 8:45am until noon.

Get out so you can eat chili, catch a movie or go on a bike tour.

Get out so you can go to one (or two) film festivals, watch some kick-ass choreography or check out Princess Di's formal gowns or up-and-comer musical acts.

This Saturday, June 16, join The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for their annual ArtWalk.

For "STALKER" artist Lisa Solberg has covered the gallery with reflective insulation panels, causing your image to stare back at you as you watch your everyday life unfold in a mix of ink and paint.

Those who didn't catch a glimpse of the infamous 340-ton granite Levitated Mass on its way to LACMA can soon see it and the rest of the museum for free all summer long with the purchase of a general admission ticket.

Need a little lunchtime body and right-brain boost? ForYourArt is bringing you a "creativity-focused yoga session" today from Noon to 1 p.m. for all artists and the artist in everyone.

The scene after a three-day festival is hell. Strung out, red-eyed soldiers stumbling around in a stupor after 72 hours straight of chaotic madness. But the grounds themselves are the real victim. An orgy of plastic, torn-up grass and urine-soaked mud is hardly the best way to honor the location of the greatest weekend of your life.

Earlier this month, the California Right to Know campaign, which spearheads a State Ballot Proposition that would require labeling of genetically engineered foods, reported collecting 971,126 signatures—nearly double what is required to qualify for placement on the November ballot.

This week marks the 73rd anniversary of the opening of Union Station, and to celebrate the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles is hosting Cocktails in Historic Places along with a free tour of the downtown landmark this Friday evening, 6 to 8 pm.

A rally to celebrate the California Right to Know GMO labeling initiative and to educate consumers about issues surrounding labeling of genetically engineered foods will take place Wednesday, May 2. Organizers have raised enough signatures to qualify for the California State Ballot in November and will be submitting them in style.

This morning, The Genetically Engineered Food Labeling Initiative in California reported having gathered the target 850,000 signatures needed in order to ensure the initiative makes it onto the November 2012 State Ballot. The grassroots initiative, which seeks to have produce and packaged foods containing genetically engineered ingredients labeled as such, has been gathering signature since early 2012, with hopes of allowing California citizens to decide the issue in November.
