The Broad Collection
Eli and Edythe Broad have been building their collection of postwar and contemporary art over the last 50 years. With a belief that the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, the Broads took to collecting art of their own time.
The Broad is home to 2,000 works in the Broad collection by more than 200 artists, and is one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art. The collection features in-depth holdings of influential contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Takashi Murakami, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and more, plus an ever-growing representation of younger artists.

View Our Collection Here

In Under the Table, 1994, the viewer is both in the world of imaginary giants and in the world of remembered childhood. Fusing Alice in Wonderland with the Duchampian tradition of the readymade, Artist Robert Therrien constructs a doppelganger from an everyday object, both displaying his visual wit and actualizing literary or imaginative fantasy in three-dimensional space. The table exudes an extraordinary aura, compelling one to walk underneath the table and conjuring the physical memory of being under the table of one’s childhood home. Complicated and powerful, the work offers fresh ideas of what a table, sculpture, and memory can mean.

Using the recognizable form of a balloon twisted into the shape of a dog, Koons has frozen a moment in time, exaggerating both scale and material.
Balloon Dog (Blue) is literal and abstract. When standing close to it, one’s own distorted reflection bends around smooth pert curves.

General Admission is Free

The Venice Run Club
2024-07-30 19:30 - 21:00 | Santa Monica High School, 601 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA, 90405, 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.

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.

Graham Garden integrates Fountain Figures I-IV, a collection of graceful sculptures created by late Los Angeles artist Robert Graham, in a newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo. For over fifty years, Robert Graham’s observation of the female form and use of scale allowed him to explore and create a range of intimate sized works and large public monuments, widely celebrated for their precise iconic detail.
The sculptures were originally part of CRA/LA’s mission in 1985 to incorporate public art in redevelopment projects and revitalize Downtown Los Angeles. The four sculptures are currently situated in an exterior landscaped setting that Graham’s son, Steven Graham, consulted on as part of the renovation at Wells Fargo Center.

Robert Graham, was a Mexican born sculptor, and although you may not be familiar with his name, you probably ARE familiar with some of his work. Graham’s monumental bronzes commemorate the human figure, and are featured in 11 public places in and around the city of Angels. Including; The Olympic Gateway at the Memorial Coliseum, The Torso at Rodeo Drive, The Great Bronze Doors and Statue of Mary at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and The Dance Door – Los Angeles Music Center

And now, you can see his latest collection. The Robert Graham Sculpture Garden gracefully nestled in the newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo, at Wells Fargo Center.
This collection is a unique addition, to the Olympic Celebration, coming to LA in 2028, The collection of four bronze fountain figures, was inspired by gymnastic athleticism, strength, and beauty. Fountain waters flow over bronze and granite pedestals into a shallow reflecting pools, which are integrated into the Halo’s landscape.

EVERY MONDAY / WEDNESDAY / FRIDAY- Hollywood
Runyon Canyon Yoga is lead by Daniel Overberger, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30am – 11:30am. No, it’s not just an urban legend. This is where it all began: donation-based yoga in the park, year-round, since 2000.
Catch Daniel on

2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046

Bring a mat or a towel and meet in the fenced-in children’s play area just inside the main entrance (weather permitting). Everyone is welcome.

Runyon Canyon Yoga- 2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046

In 1634, Daniel Overberger’s forebears came to America on the Dove as escaped counterfeiters. Here, they mated with members of the Yaocomico tribe of Maryland. Centuries later, it is this union of fugitive and shaman blood that runs through Daniel’s veins, injecting a much needed outlaw spirit into western yoga.

Having earned his teaching certification through his studies and apprenticeship with ashtanga vinyasa masters in Mysore, India, Daniel has been bringing donation-based vinyasa yoga to the people since 2005. The host of the Daniel Overberger – What Now? podcast, author of Leaving Stress Behind and founder of alt-kirtan group Dharma Gypsys, Daniel has been featured on KTLA News, in Tarzan Magazine (Japan) and in LA Yoga Magazine, to which he has been a regular contributor.

Daniel has two teaching certificates from his studies in Mysore, India and teaches Vinyasa yoga with roots in Ashtanga. His teaching is laced with a sense of humor and a down-to-earth attitude that makes yoga accessible to anyone willing to show up for the gig.

The Broad Collection
Eli and Edythe Broad have been building their collection of postwar and contemporary art over the last 50 years. With a belief that the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, the Broads took to collecting art of their own time.
The Broad is home to 2,000 works in the Broad collection by more than 200 artists, and is one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art. The collection features in-depth holdings of influential contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Takashi Murakami, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and more, plus an ever-growing representation of younger artists.

View Our Collection Here

In Under the Table, 1994, the viewer is both in the world of imaginary giants and in the world of remembered childhood. Fusing Alice in Wonderland with the Duchampian tradition of the readymade, Artist Robert Therrien constructs a doppelganger from an everyday object, both displaying his visual wit and actualizing literary or imaginative fantasy in three-dimensional space. The table exudes an extraordinary aura, compelling one to walk underneath the table and conjuring the physical memory of being under the table of one’s childhood home. Complicated and powerful, the work offers fresh ideas of what a table, sculpture, and memory can mean.

Using the recognizable form of a balloon twisted into the shape of a dog, Koons has frozen a moment in time, exaggerating both scale and material.
Balloon Dog (Blue) is literal and abstract. When standing close to it, one’s own distorted reflection bends around smooth pert curves.

General Admission is Free
All visitors must reserve timed tickets in advance. Some exhibitions and events carry a separate charge.

We show off extraordinary specimens in exhibitions such as Age of Mammals, the Dinosaur Hall, the Gem and Mineral Hall, and our beloved dioramas.

Long-standing gay hot spot caters to a leather-wearing crowd, with cheap beer nights & DJs.

The current location of Eagle LA has served home to many gay bars over the years dating back 44 years. It was known as the Shed from 1968-1972, The Outcast from 1972-1983, the famous Gauntlet II from 1983-2005, then later, Eagle LA.

Gauntlet II was in operation for 21 years. Then, in the summer of 2005 Charlie and business partner Vince decided to buy the bar with the intention of making a name change. In April 2006, Eagle LA was born, or, reborn as it may be. There was an original Eagle LA located in West Hollywood at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Fairfax. It operated for 15 years and closed in 1995. Although that Eagle is of no relation to Charlie or Vince, they are proud to reestablish the Eagle LA and become the latest in a long line of Eagle bars in cities throughout the US and around the world. It has always been their mission to uphold the Leather/Uniform/Fetish traditions set forth by the infamous Eagle name and that traditions still holds true today.

You’ll step into the shoes of the residents, feel their struggles and triumphs, and gain a deeper understanding of the complex history of Santa Monica.

Suihoen - The Japanese Garden
2024-08-01 09:30 - 15:30 | Suihoen The Japanese Garden, 6100 Woodley Ave, Lake Balboa, CA, 91406, United States
NOW OPEN- Van Nuys

6100 Woodley Ave, Lake Balboa, CA 91406

Nestled amidst the bustling San Fernando Valley lies an oasis of serenity – the Japanese Garden at Van Nuys, also known as Suihōen (水芳園), meaning “garden of water and fragrance.” This captivating 6.5-acre sanctuary transports you to a world of tranquility, offering a glimpse into traditional Japanese garden design and a chance to reconnect with nature’s calming embrace.

A Journey Through Three Distinct Styles
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is a masterpiece of design, incorporating three distinct styles of Japanese gardens. As you embark on your exploration, prepare to be enveloped by:

Tsukiyama (mountain borrowing) style: This style cleverly borrows the scenery of the surrounding hills, creating the illusion of a much larger space. Let your imagination wander as the boundaries between the garden and the natural landscape seem to blur.

Chisen (pond garden) style: A central pond, symbolizing the vastness of the ocean, takes center stage in this style. Graceful bridges connect small islands within the pond, adding a touch of whimsy and tranquility to the scene. Keep an eye out for the vibrant koi fish that call this pond their home.

Kare-sansui (dry landscape) style: Embrace the beauty of minimalism with the Kare-sansui style. Rocks, sand, and gravel are meticulously arranged to represent water and mountains, creating a space for contemplation and reflection.

A Haven for Relaxation and Reflection
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is more than just a visual treat. It’s a place to unwind, de-stress, and reconnect with your inner peace.

Stroll the Winding Paths: Meandering paths, crafted from natural materials, weave through the landscape, inviting you on a journey of discovery. Allow yourself to be present in the moment, savoring the sights, sounds, and scents of the garden.

Find Serenity by the Koi Pond: The gentle murmur of water and the graceful dance of the koi fish create a calming atmosphere. Take a seat on a nearby bench and let the tranquility wash over you.

Unwind Amidst the Dry Landscape: The stark beauty of the Kare-sansui style fosters a sense of peace and mindfulness. Allow the raked sand and meticulously placed rocks to inspire contemplation and a connection with nature’s simplicity.

A Cultural Gem in the City
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys isn’t just a beautiful space; it’s a cultural gem. As you explore, you’ll encounter traditional Japanese elements like:

Torii gate: A traditional gate that marks the entrance to the garden, signifying a transition from the everyday world to a sacred space.

Pagoda: A multi-tiered tower, a familiar feature in Japanese gardens, adds an architectural touch and a sense of history.

Tea house: While not always open to the public, the presence of a tea house hints at the cultural significance of tea ceremonies in Japanese tradition.

Plan Your Tranquil Escape
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is open to the public free of charge (donations are appreciated). The garden is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, offering a convenient escape during the workweek or a peaceful weekend retreat.
Embrace the Tranquility
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys awaits you. Immerse yourself in the calming beauty of this haven, explore the intricacies of Japanese garden design, and discover a place for relaxation, reflection, and a touch of cultural exploration. So, take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and find your moment of peace amidst the serenity of the Japanese Garden.
