Second Annual Art Weekend Encourages Locals to Engage With L.A. Art Scene

The second annual Los Angeles Art weekend formally kicked off on Thursday with an opening-night party at the Purple Lounge at the Standard Hollywood, and concluded Sunday. The four-day program (which also inspired peripheral events outside that time line) highlighted the vast—if occasionally underutilized—offerings that blanket the city’s cultural landscape in the realms of art, architecture, design, and performance.

FYAworld, the consulting arm of ForYourArt (which publishes tools and hosts events that celebrate and organize local art projects and programs), produces the program in collaboration with Black Frame, a production agency with art, architecture, fashion, and design clients.

"What was new this year was we really tested different models for how to activate a public audience that isn't necessarily engaging with the art scene here,” said ForYourArt founder Bettina Korek. “We really tried to find ways to introduce these activities for a new, bigger audience. What we're passionate about is getting people who live in L.A. to identify more and engage with those activities." MORE >>
