How To LA Presents: Imperfect Paradise: The Gen Z Water Dealmaker Part 2

#305: 

What's the deal with the new mural on Western Avenue? A man holding a flowerpot crawling out of the sky? 

That's performance artist Pope L., inviting folks into the new, permanent home of the non-profit formerly known as LAX Art. They've rebranded as The Brick, and their new brick and mortar gallery and exhibition space is formally opening in September.

How To LA host Brian de los Santos spoke with artistic director Hamza Walker, and artists in the 3B Collective, to get the scoop on what this space means for contemporary art in L.A. 

For more on the artists mentioned:

#303: We're continuing our summer series of places to explore - and this time we're heading to Miracle Mile and following the sweet sounds of jazz down Wilshire and onto the LACMA campus. 

As LA's county museum, LACMA is exploring all sorts of ways to make sure the public feels welcome, from free membership for teens, free admission for LA County residents, and free jazz nights in the summers. You might even run into a friend, or see someone like artist Judy Baca working in the galleries. We ducked inside to get the scoop and see some art in the AC. And later, we shout out our other favorite museums around the city. 

Read more on Judy Baca and LACMA on LAist here. 

Guest: Chelo Montoya, assistant VP of public programs at LACMA
