There's a lot of great stuff happening in LA, so much so that the Hammer Museum has created an entire series dedicated to highlighting the work of artists working throughout the Los Angeles area. Made in L.A. 2016 will be on display at the museum from June 12 through August 28, but today it announced the 26 artists that will be participating. Now in its third year, Made in L.A. will include genres such as fashion, dance, music and film.
"Each Made in L.A. sheds a new light on the work being made by Los Angeles artists, expanding on previous versions of the exhibition,” said Hammer Museum director Ann Philbin in a statement. “Made in L.A. 2016 investigates what is vital and distinctive about this city as an international destination and cutting edge art center, and how its artists—from vastly different backgrounds and disciplines—resist and defy categorization.”
