Getty Center Central Garden
2026-06-09 10:00 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
ADMISSION IS FREE – PARKING IS NOT- Sepulveda Pass
Perched atop a hill overlooking Los Angeles, the Getty Center is a renowned museum housing a vast collection of art. But beyond the grand galleries lies a hidden gem: Getty Center Robert Irwin’s Central Garden, a captivating fusion of art, nature, and light. This four-acre masterpiece is not merely a backdrop for the museum; it’s an artistic experience in itself, inviting visitors to connect with the beauty of the natural world.

A Canvas of Light and Landscape
Renowned artist Robert Irwin envisioned the Central Garden as a living sculpture. Opened in 1997, the garden transcends the traditional notion of landscaped spaces. Here, the focus is on the interplay of light, water, and meticulously chosen plants, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
Immerse Yourself in Light and Shadow:
As you enter the Central Garden, prepare to be enveloped by a symphony of light and shadow. The garden is designed to capture and manipulate natural light throughout the day, creating shifting patterns and textures. Walkways meander through the space, each turn revealing a new interplay of light on the foliage and water features.
A Celebration of California Flora:
The Central Garden is a love letter to California’s native plants. Lush greenery, vibrant wildflowers, and mature trees create a diverse tapestry of textures and colors. The careful selection of plants not only adds visual interest but also reflects the surrounding Californian landscape.
Water as a Guiding Element:
Water plays a central role in the Central Garden’s design. A cascading stream winds through the space, creating a soothing sound and a shimmering reflection of the sky. A central pool serves as a focal point, its still surface mirroring the ever-changing light and clouds above.

A Space for Contemplation and Connection
The Central Garden is more than just a visual spectacle; it’s a place for introspection and connection with nature. The serene atmosphere invites visitors to slow down, disconnect from the outside world, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world around them.
Find a Quiet Corner:
Benches are strategically placed throughout the garden, offering moments of respite and reflection. Take a seat, listen to the sounds of water and birdsong, and allow yourself to be enveloped by the tranquility of the space.
Connect with Nature Through Art:
Irwin’s vision blurs the lines between art and nature. The Central Garden is a testament to how art can enhance our appreciation of the natural world. By experiencing the garden, visitors can gain a new perspective on the beauty and complexity of nature.

Enhance Your Visit to the Getty Center
The Central Garden is a free add-on to your visit to the Getty Center. Here are some tips to maximize your experience:

Plan your visit: The Getty Center can get crowded, especially on weekends. Consider arriving early or visiting during off-peak hours.
Wear comfortable shoes: The Central Garden is vast and best explored on foot.
Bring a water bottle: Staying hydrated is important, especially on hot days.
Embrace the sensory experience: Pay attention to the subtle details – the feel of the sun on your skin, the sound of birds chirping, and the scent of blooming flowers.

Robert Irwin’s Central Garden offers a unique opportunity to experience art and nature in perfect harmony. So, on your next visit to the Getty Center, don’t miss the chance to escape into this serene haven of light and beauty.

THE HAMMER MUSEUM
2026-06-09 11:00 - 20:00 | Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
FREE FOR GOOD! Westwood Village
The Hammer Museum champions the art and artists who challenge us to see the world in a new light, to experience the unexpected, to ignite our imaginations, and inspire change.

The Hammer understands that art not only has the power to transport us through aesthetic experience but can also provide significant insight into some of the most pressing cultural, political, and social questions of our time. We share the unique and invaluable perspectives that artists have on the world around us.
A vibrant intellectual and creative nexus, the Hammer is fueled by dynamic exhibitions and programs—including lectures, symposia, film series, readings, and musical performances—that spark meaningful encounters with art and ideas.
And through our unwavering commitment to free admission and free public programs, the Hammer is open for all and FREE FOR GOOD.

A BIGGER, BETTER HAMMER MUSEUM

If oil magnate Armand Hammer were alive today, he might marvel that the museum he launched in Westwood before his death in 1990 has evolved into one of the most forward-focused art institutions in Los Angeles. After all, the museum was originally designed to house his fine collection of old-master paintings and drawings, as well as works on paper by Honoré Daumier and his 19th-century contemporaries.

But in the ensuing decades, as the art world has continued to evolve, so has Los Angeles — and so has the Hammer Museum, which is now a part of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. In 1994, UCLA assumed management and operations of the museum, and the Hammer kept its original purpose but also expanded its mission. Today, the Hammer has a wide reputation for innovation and for showcasing new artists.

New Contemporary Gallery

“L.A. has become a hotbed of contemporary art and artists,” says Ann Philbin, the museum’s director since 1999, “and the Hammer has become a premier institution where they are shown.”

4th-Floor-Offices

Under Philbin’s leadership, the museum has expanded its collections and programs, including establishing the Hammer Projects series of exhibitions and installations featuring local, national and international emerging artists. It also launched the Made in L.A. biennial, now in its fourth edition. Through these and other innovations, the Hammer has quadrupled its attendance to about 250,000 a year.

Lindbrook Terrace

Meanwhile, Occidental Petroleum, which occupied the adjoining building, relocated to Houston, Texas. So the Hammer has begun a major, multiyear expansion that will take the museum far into the 21st century.
Earlier this year, the Hammer announced a $180 million capital campaign. Almost half of those funds will be used to expand gallery and other public spaces, while the rest will go toward exhibitions, programming and an endowment. The museum has already raised more than $130 million, including $30 million from L.A. philanthropists Lynda and Stewart ’59, J.D. ’62 Resnick and $20 million from Hammer board chair Marcy Carsey.

Annex

The renovations and additions being designed by Michael Maltzan Architecture, who was commissioned in 2000 to create the museum’s 2003 master plan, include:
• A newly designed entrance at Wilshire and Westwood boulevards to maximize the museum’s visual presence at one of the nation’s busiest intersections. In the coming years, the museum will also benefit from a planned Metro Purple Line station across Wilshire.
• More than 10,000 square feet of additional exhibition space for contemporary art.
• New permanent collection galleries and a study room for the Grunwald Center Collection.
• 20,000 square feet of enhanced public spaces, including a new restaurant.
• A new and more accessible Hammer Store.

2nd Floor B Side

In all, the expansion will provide 60 percent more gallery space for exhibitions. The museum will remain open during construction, and admission will continue to be free. “We’re accessible to everyone, and that keeps people coming back,” Philbin says. “L.A. has been growing as one of the world’s most exciting cultural creative communities, and the museum has grown alongside it.”

HISTORY OF THE HAMMER MUSEUM
The Hammer Museum opened to the public in November 1990. Founded by Dr. Armand Hammer, former Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, the Museum was designed by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. Financed by Occidental, the Museum was built adjacent to the Corporation’s international headquarters in Westwood. At that time, the Museum featured galleries for Dr. Hammer’s collections — old master paintings and drawings, and a collection of works on paper by Honore Daumier and his contemporaries — as well as galleries for traveling exhibitions. Dr. Hammer passed away in December 1990, three weeks after the opening of the Museum leaving many spaces unfinished.
In 1992, the Museum began negotiations with its neighbor, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to assume the management and operations of the institution. In April 1994, the partnership with UCLA was finalized and the following year the University relocated its collections and the staff of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts to the Hammer. The Museum also assumed responsibility for the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, located at the north end of the UCLA campus.
Henry Hopkins, then director of the Wight gallery and professor in the Department of Art, became director of the Museum until his retirement in 1998. In 1999 Ann Philbin was named director and has developed a strong and original institutional identity and built a national and international reputation for thematic contemporary exhibitions, scholarly historical exhibitions, and contemporary artists’ projects. During her tenure the Hammer has formed a Hammer Contemporary Collection which now holds over 2,000 artworks. In addition, Philbin has overseen substantial renovations to the museum’s building, including the completion of the 300-seat Billy Wilder Theater and museum café. With Philbin’s direction, the museum instituted the internationally acclaimed Hammer Projects, a series of more than one hundred contemporary exhibitions and installations featuring local, national, and international emerging artists. Philbin also created a series of dynamic public programs which are core to the Hammer’s identity and regularly feature many of the most influential authors, artists, and creative thinkers of our time.

The museum is open every day, except Mondays, July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
Monday: Closed
Tuesday – Friday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00p.m.
Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

The Venice Run Club
2026-06-10 18:30 - 20:30 | The Kinney Hotel, CA, United States
EVERY WEEK, EVERY RUN, EVERY BODY- Santa Monica & Venice
The Venice Run Club is the heartbeat of Venice. A community of runners here to better ourselves and our community. Come run with us.
48 for Change
With the combination of a global pandemic and civil unrest around racial injustice, June of 2020 set the stage for important societal and human issues to finally come to light in a more permanent way. This was the same time that two friends, Justin and Tyler, decided they wanted to take action to make a difference in the injustices and inequality we see in our communities.

The week of George Floyd’s passing, Justin called Tyler voicing his frustration from Floyd’s murder and subsequent reactions, and they joined forces to do a running challenge that very weekend that entailed running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. A GoFundMe was set up to collect funds from friends and family throughout the running challenge to donate to help support racial justice.
What started as a way to take the mind off of the pressure cooker of injustice resulted in a massively successful and attention-grabbing fundraiser, and eventually turned into a 501(c)3 nonprofit, still strong and growing today: 48 For Change.
Aside from fundraising and donating, Justin found that the community that gathered to run that weekend was something special, and needed its own spotlight. A place where anyone can come and simply run with a group of good people. Venice Run Club was born.
Nearly two years later, we have grown into a strong group of 200+ runners, given back $100,000 and over 1,100lbs of clothing to the LA community, guided over 40 runners to completing their first marathon, and become On’s first-ever sponsored run club in America.
Come make friends, break a sweat, and get to know the city in the best way possible: by running its streets.

Hike To The Hollywood Sign
2026-06-11 | CA, United States
HIKING TO THE SIGN
The Hollywood Sign is the most famous icon of the city of Los Angeles, and there are three routes below ranked from easy to difficult. The Mt Hollywood Trail, The Brush Canyon Trail, and The Cahuenga Peak Trail (currently closed)

Stunning views of the Hollywood Sign unfold at your own pace on hiking trails that meander through the rolling chaparral of the Santa Monica Mountains. Trails originally blazed by paws, hooves, and yucca-thatched moccasins now connect us to cultural as well as natural wonders. The western frontier of Griffith Park offers hikers amazingly close encounters with the Sign, which is off-limits to human hands, just below the ridgeline at the 1,708-foot summit of Mt. Lee. On the longest hike, you can ascend above and behind the Sign’s 45-foot-tall aluminum letters, where you look out over a windswept vista encompassing the DOOWYLLOH sign, the dreamy towers of downtown Los Angeles, and, on a clear day, the ageless blue Pacific.

From behind, the Sign reads DOOWYLLOH
Authorized hiking trails are open the same hours as Griffith Park, from Sunrise to Sunset, 365 days a year. While enjoying hiking, please stay on authorized trails.
Please beware of the extreme fire danger on the trails, parts of which are still recovering after a devastating wildfire in 2007. Trespassing is illegal. A LAPD officer is stationed near the Sign, which is protected by a fence and security cameras 24 hours a day. Thank you.

Easy Way:
The Mt. Hollywood Trail,
offering a mind-bending side-angle view of the Sign, has two starting points in Griffith Park, the 6.5 square miles of protected wilderness AKA the heart and lungs of Los Angeles (Hours: Sunrise – Sunset). The shorter loop hike of about three miles starts at Griffith Observatory’s parking lot, which is free and fills up early on weekends.
A slightly longer and steeper trail with fewer people starts on a fire road intersecting N. Vermont Canyon Rd., just past the Greek Theater, where hardy hikers find plenty of street parking.

The Charlie Turner Trailhead marker

The most popular route up Mt. Hollywood, the second highest peak in the park, is suitable for families with children. It begins at the Charlie Turner Trailhead, named to honor a longtime park volunteer. You can use the restrooms at the Observatory and ask a park ranger about conditions on the trail. Summer can be scorching up there, so be sure and carry plenty of water. Sandals and flip-flops are not the best footwear in snake country. The trailhead sign and landscaping are at the north end of the Observatory parking lot. The hike begins with a short, easy ascent along a ridge.
Look for the Mt. Hollywood trailhead sign and landscaping at the north end of the Observatory parking lot. The hike (where leashed dogs are legal but unleashed ones common) isn’t likely to cross paths with P-22, the mountain lion that traversed two freeways to take up residence in the wilds of Griffith Park in 2012. Start walking up a short, easy ascent along a ridge through authentic wild chaparral where you may spot purple and orange wildflowers in the spring and red Toyon berries on California Holly bushes in the fall. In less than a half- mile, you come upon a cooling grove of pine trees called the Berlin Forest, planted by real Berliners to honor their sister-city status with Los Angeles. There are tables and benches, and a beautiful view of the Hollywood Sign framed by pine boughs. Be on the lookout year-round for Zorro-masked Mountain Chickadees in the conifers and orange and yellow flame-headed Western Tanagers in the scrub.

The entrance to Dante’s View
After another gently up-sloped half-mile, you reach a four-way crossroads. The left fork goes around the west side of Mt. Hollywood toward a rest stop called Captain’s Roost. The right fork leads around the east side to a well-kept “folk” garden called Dante’s View. The Friends of Griffith Park have recently been planting and nurturing more native plants around the rest stop gardens, which were severely burned in 2007. Both provide shade (there’s also a water fountain at Dante’s View) and restorative views of the Observatory and the city to the south and the Hollywood Sign to the west. The 1,625-foot Mt. Hollywood summit is about one-quarter mile beyond both stops and consists of a coastal sage scrubby knob with protective railing. The slightly cockeyed view of the letters in the Hollywood Sign is from a perspective just a few degrees off dead center, and almost directly at eye level. READ MORE

MODERATE:
The Brush Canyon Trail,
also part of Griffith Park, features a fun side trip to Adam West’s Bat Cave, home of the Batmobile in the 60’s Batman TV series. Locals know it as Bronson Caves, and there’s a small parking lot close to the trailhead on Canyon Drive and an overflow dirt parking lot just down the road. The trail offers sensational views of the city and ends behind the Hollywood Sign. The old rock quarry tunnel has figured in many movies, from 1925’s Riders of the Purple Sage to 2010’s Megashark vs. Crocosaurus.

A view from the Brush Canyon Trail. hike

The 6.5-mile trail to the Sign climbs more than a thousand feet through several healthy ecosystems, so hikers need to give it three hours and carry plenty of water. If there aren’t too many unleashed dogs, you might see mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, and rattlesnakes. Look up for Cooper’s Hawks soaring in the thermals over the Sign and down for honeybees probing the wildflowers. READ MORE
NOTE: Reservations are NOT currently required on this hike. However, access might be closed off during the day depending on overcrowding.

DIFFICULT:CLOSED
The Cahuenga Peak Hike,
across a short saddle from Mt. Lee, runs through the latest 138-acre addition to Griffith Park and offers wide angle views of the Hollywood Reservoir and the San Fernando Valley. Suitable for the more experienced hiker, it begins on the Aileen Getty Ridge Trail and includes the Hugh Hefner Overlook, both named for two of the many benefactors and community activists who raised the money to save the land from a luxury housing development in 2012.

The trail is more rugged and less defined than the Canyon Blvd. trail. It includes the famous Wisdom Tree and traverses an area where the park’s resident mountain lion, P-22, has been spotted (usually after dark when the park is closed). The trail is open from sunrise to sunset. READ MORE

IAMLA Italian American Museum of Los Angeles
2026-06-12 10:00 - 15:00 | Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, 644 N Main St, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
TUESDAY TO SUNDAY – Italian American Museum of Los Angeles
The Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, or IAMLA, is located in the historic Italian Hall, which was constructed in 1908 to serve as a gathering place for the Italian community. Today, the Italian Hall is the oldest remaining structure from Los Angeles’ Italian enclave and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

THE HISTORY
Italians and Italian Americans have played an instrumental role in the development of Los Angeles as one of the world’s greatest metropolises, yet the history of Italians in the region is largely unknown. Though Los Angeles is home to the nation’s fifth-largest Italian population today, and the Italian presence in the American West predates the nation’s founding, seldom is the city included in dialogs surrounding contemporary or historic Italian American communities. An examination of the region’s Italian roots reveals both the complexity of the Italian Diaspora and the exceptionally diverse fabric of Southern California’s history.

The Los Angeles Italian experience contrasts with that of Italian immigrants elsewhere in the country and reveals the complexity of the Italian American diaspora. Given the success that Italian Americans have achieved in the United States, it is easy to forget that they, like other minority groups, faced considerable prejudice and hostility in their struggle to achieve the American Dream. In the American South, Italians were a common target of lynchings and racially-motivated violence. In the early 20th century, eugenicists described Italians as genetically inferior, while political cartoons of the era depicted Italians as threats to American security and racial purity.
THE MISSION
The mission of the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles is to foster a deeper understanding of Southern California’s diverse heritage through research, historic preservation, exhibitions, and educational programs that examine the history and continuing contributions of Italian Americans in multi-ethnic Los Angeles and the United States.
The IAMLA is a charity that depends on donations to accomplish its specific mission. As such, the IAMLA does entertain requests for financial support to fund other organizations, charitable or otherwise, nor does it provide financial resources to artists, scholars, filmmakers, etc. The IAMLA does not fund exhibitions or theatrical or cinematic productions, nor is the museum rented for such projects.

Hours
Monday: Closed
Tuesday – Sunday: 10:00am – 3:00pm
