Free Today: Sunday July 12, 2009


Good morning all, happy weekend! Today there is a pretty solid list of events going on that might be of interest. First off, the Echo Park Community Festival is on its final day, so if you haven't had a chance to go down there, today is your last shot. The event is held at Echo Park.

Tonight, at 6:00, musician Kim Lenz will be performing a live set at Amoeba Records on Sunset. If you like rockabilly, this show should float your boat. Lenz has disappeared from the scene over the past few years, but tonight she will be back in action, and ready to rock. Here's the address:

Amoeba Records
6200 sunset Blvd
LA, CA. 90028

If you are interested in folk art, The Craft and Folk Art Museum will be hosting a free day today from noon to 6:00 pm. now is your chance to see their current exhibit Celestial Ash: Assemblages from Los Angeles. that we wrote about last week. Another exhibit they have on display will be an exhibit entitled Ancient Gods and Modern Politics: Mithila Painting. You can read more about both exhibits here.

Additionally, at 3:00 pm, the Craft and Folk art Museum will be hosting a poetry reading featuring artist and musician Exene Cervenka.

Thats the line up for today. Hopefully there is something worth looking in to. As far as things go for us, We will be heading over to the Getty Center today to see their photography exhibit, In Focus: Making a Scene. The exhibit will be on display until October 18th.



The Getty Center is free every day. It is located on a beautiful mountainside in West LA. There is parking on site, however it will cost you $15 bucks. To some, thats a bit steep, so we recommend taking public transportation. Motorcycles and bicycles can also park for free, and parties of 15 or less are allowed to be dropped off at the gate at no cost.
