My recent train trip into L.A. had me wandering through several small museums lining the Olvera Street Plaza, one housing a fantastic Dia de Los Muertos art gallery. Day of the Dead is generally known here as a Mexican celebration, so I was surprised to find a Vietnamese exhibit at the Pico House Gallery. Artist […]

When I took the train to downtown Los Angeles last week, I arrived at Union Station, across from Olvera Street and El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical monument. One of L.A.’s original areas, it’s always fun to visit. The celebration of Dia de Los Muertos was on, so colorful costumes were abundant, music playing, dancers on the […]

We’re lucky! We live in Southern California, which is like having the entire world within one time zone, easy driving distance for an afternoon’s outing. The variety of traditions, cultures, languages, foods (yum!), religions… is incredible. A place I enjoy visiting often for a unique cultural experience (along with their ever-rotating, amazing exhibits), is the […]

Grand ideas for a Los Angeles that never came to fruition,  whether for lack of money, support, or the occasional morbid reason, are numerous. I lucked out in viewing the ‘Never Built Los Angeles‘ exhibit at the A + D Museum on Wilshire (across from LACMA) during its final showing last week. I’d never been […]

Muzeo in downtown Anaheim opened the coolest, and I do mean coolest, exhibit on Saturday, “Worn to be Wild – the Black Leather Jacket“. It continues until January 12, 2014. Per Muzeo’s website, “Harley-Davidson Museum in partnership with EMP Museum present a dynamic exhibit that traces the path of the leather motorcycle jacket from functional […]

Returning home from another lovely get-away weekend in Palm Springs earlier today, I took a detour off the 60 to visit the Mission Inn (more about that gorgeous place in another post). Approaching on Mission Inn Avenue, I saw this skeletal bicyclist out front of the Riverside Art Museum.  Not having enough time for a […]

Every month on the first Sunday, the Bowers Museum, located in Santa Ana, allows free admission and hosts a cultural festival, sponsored by Target. Each event features arts & crafts, live music, dance performances, and food specific to the celebrated culture of the month. This “Daily Foto Fix” is from their June event, which celebrated […]

Really? Rock obsession, crazy love, yeah. Los Angeles was captivated last year by the journey of a 340 ton granite boulder, set to become the permanent (no doubt) exhibit Levitated Mass at LACMA. I wasn’t lucky enough to experience the journey, and rather guffawed at all the hype, until… I saw it in person, on […]

As I mentioned in my previous post, Kat and I visited the Palm Springs Art Museum during a recent trip to PS. It was a fabulous find, a really gorgeous art museum. Below is just a sampling of photos taken there.

The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, is not only a botanical garden, but also home to a very large and prestigious art collection. The collection resides in two buildings on the estate: The Huntington Art Gallery, and the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art. With pieces ranging from Andy Warhol contemporary, to Charles […]
