Keep Walking – Biking – Metro-ing
to art in your neighborhood!
There’s a lot of art happening everyday in Los Angeles. During Carmageddon II, we partnered with Experience LA to provide 247 listings for arts and cultural events that took place on September 29 & 30, 2012. Now, with ARTmageddon behind us, we want you to continue enjoying art at Los Angeles’ major institutions, as well as dig a bit deeper and discover the hidden gems located just around the corner from where you live.
Here’s a list of sites that can help you find art near you:
City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs
Dance Resource Center of Greater LA
Below you can search the archives by neighborhood for the wealth of events that took place during ARTmageddon weekend.
