Los Angeles museums are awaiting approvals to safely reopen but that doesn’t have to stop us from seeing fresh art in our city. Here are some exhibits you can look forward to seeing - whether that’s tomorrow or later this year.

Made in LA 2020

As part of the biennial Hammer Museum’s Made in LA 2020, artist Larry Johnson has created five billboards in MacArthur Park. 

Another participating artist, Kahlil Joseph, has created BLKNWS@ - a curated broadcast of the black experience of the moment which is presented in several small businesses around LA.

Once the city gives the go-ahead to reopen museums, visit The Hammer Museum at it’s Westwood location to see Made in LA 2020. Also see the artist’s works at The Huntington in Pasadena.
