Just when i was over the artwalk scene.. lacma unleashes this beast! leave it to the museum of LA to do it up!
Looks like im gona have to gather the troops, lace up my boots and done my cool art spectacles and celebrate LA’s diverse art, dance and music scene!
Its free for the most part, except for the rooftop party, and the world cup thing, either way you slice it, it looks good… esp with Justin BUA, Mear One, Beat Freaks, and Mr. Wiggles doing their collective thing. Hip-Hop is in the building and out in the streets of LA!

The Los Angeles Arts & Music Festival

Saturday, June 12, 2010
Miracle Mile
12 pm–12 am (World Cup event starts at 10 am)

For this year’s ArtWalk, Muse invites the unique local artists that make up our great city to the Miracle Mile to stand side by side in an impressive display of art, music, performance, workshops, activities, food, and more.

In addition to offering free general admission to all five museums on the row, ArtWalk aims to fill the Miracle Mile from Fairfax to Curson to create an engaging environment for guests of all ages.

La Brea Tar Pits Park
With an assist from festival art curator Phil Blaine, the La Brea Tar Pits Park becomes a haven for large-scale art installations. The imaginative pieces create an experience that’s far from the usual walk in the park while providing an art preview of Insomniac’s upcoming Electric Daisy Carnival.

LAUNCH Presents: Meeson Pae Yang—Accumulations
5900 Wilshire Boulevard
Comprised of mixed media sculptures and installations, Accumulations offers a view of Meeson Pae Yang’s intriguing interpretation of our environment. Through the pairing and amassing of materials organic and synthetic, Yang creates intricate sculptures and installations.

Accompanying the exhibition are six distinct sound artists from the SASSAS soundShoppe who will construct an evolving circuit of aural observations to interpret and reflect upon the physical space and its contents.
