Los Angeles Design Weekend

Swing by gallery shows, open studios, parties and pop-up shops during this illuminating design series that is honoring 130 designers, studios, galleries and brands that make up the local creative community. For the third annual L.A. Design Weekend, the event is expanding from three to five days and partnering with dublab. Expect programming in a different cluster of neighborhoods each day: Wednesday will bring programming to DTLA, the Fashion District and Boyle Heights; on Thursday the action takes place in Chinatown; Friday is all about the Arts District; Saturday is full of workshops and open studios in Northeast L.A., Lincoln Heights, Silver Lake, Highland Park and Frogtown; and Sunday sees more open studios and group shows in neighborhoods including Echo Park, Los Feliz, East Hollywood and Atwater Village. Most events are free, though some workshops and lunches have fees to cover the cost of materials. Whichever route you take through the event, you’re sure to come away filled with creative inspiration.
