Things to do in L.A. this weekend

The Grammy Museum routinely hosts some stellar talks and performances—but there’s a good chance you’ve never been able to scoop up tickets before these intimate events sell out. But now we can all partake thanks to the institution’s Museum at Home site. Every couple of days, you can look forward to conversations with and performances from the likes of Billie Eilish, Greta Van Fleet, Andrea Bocelli, Common, Los Tigres del Norte, Courtney Barnett, Ben Platt and more. Plus, each week the museum is reviving some of its former exhibitions online, including retrospectives on Jenni Rivera, Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.

See a selection of new collages from photographer and conceptual artist Lorna Simpson—including three cut-and-paste portraits that were made while she’s been hunkered down at home like the rest of us. Hauser & Wirth has put together this online exhibition of Simpson’s recent works, which feature a series of female and male protagonists set against architectural and natural elements that comment on fragmentation, domesticity and the human body.

You can’t visit Party’s pastel wonderland, Sottobosco, right now. But you can view 11 watercolors of treetops that the artist has painted while holing up in upstate New York thanks to this virtual exhibition from Hauser & Wirth.

Bug haters beware: The Natural History Museum is assembling spine-tinglingly tight macrophotographs of insects in this new online exhibition. The photos all come from the museum’s Biodiversity Science: City and Nature (BioSCAN), which has surveyed thousands of bugs at sites across the city; they’ll premiere online for free before eventually making their way into a proper exhibition at the museum.

Still coming up empty in your search for hand sanitizer? Or not quite ready to venture into a store yet? Enter Sanitizers on the Go. Nectar Bath Treats is hosting a drive-through to purchase its hand sanitzer at the Ontario Mills Mall this weekend. On May 30 and 31 from 11am to 6pm, pull up near the Market Broiler and you’ll be able to pick up some hand sanitzer without leaving your car. You can purchase three 100ml bottles (limit two sets) for $10 or a gallon jug (limit one) for $35.

Animation meets live comedy at this stand-up series. Comedians perform on-stage as local artists sketch them—and cross their fingers for a smooth reveal of the drawing. Of course, since this is L.A., you can expect top-notch talent among both the comedians and animators.

Alexandra Billings, Lily Tomlin, Bradley Whitford and Kathryn Hahn lead a virtual pride parade from local LGBTQ advocacy group the Lavender Effect.

Hopefully some creative inspiration will rub off on you after this weekly show from Dynasty Typewriter, in which the comedy theater’s founders chat with artists and entrepreneurs about their approach to productivity. Catch it streaming online every Sunday at 2pm.
