Art Events & Exhibitions in Los Angeles

If you love poking around gallery openings, LA’s art week feels spread between Santa Monica and the Westside with a lively cluster in Downtown and Culver City — with late-night openings at the Hammer Museum and glossier shows in Gagosian Beverly Hills drawing different crowds. The mood skews artsy and intellectual: you’ll find professors and curators mixing with grad students and design professionals, and roughly half the openings won’t cost you a dime, so it’s easy to bounce between a serious lecture and a playful installation. This season time-capsules and blockbuster retrospectives sit alongside experimental grad shows and community-focused programming at the California African American Museum; even the big fairs have shifted (Frieze LA moved to Santa Monica in 2023), so there’s always something new to time with a weekend. Plan an evening crawl—grab a coffee or late taco—because the next opening is usually around the corner.
