The Hammer Museum’s excellent, ongoing series of biennial exhibitions ups the ante with each edition of its spotlight on emerging and under-recognized L.A. artists. This October’s exhibition—the seventh such show—will bring together works from 28 artists, spanning film, painting, theater, photography, sculpture and video, that engage with the city of Los Angeles.
October is here, so put on a cardigan, sip a PSL and listen up. The month might not bring as much fall foliage as we’d prefer, but hey, there’s a slight chill in the air, and that passes for fall in these parts. Cue the coziness, Halloween happenings, apple picking, Oktoberfests and Day of the Dead celebrations—and many of these fall festivities let you get in on the fun for free. October also boasts a handful of complimentary arts and culture events, from the epic annual Grand Ave Arts: All Access to the Beverly Hills Art Show to the return of the standout “Made in L.A.” exhibition at the Hammer.
