PST ART will be hosting PST ART + Science Family Festival at the La Brea Tar Pits. This first of its kind FREE festival will be a hit with families and kids of all ages!  From exploring space, to digging into fossils and imagining future worlds, there’s something for everyone on from Saturday, November 9 through Monday, November 11, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For more information, visit: https://pst.art/en/events/familyfestival.

 

As part of the PST ART: Art and Science Collide, DCA’s Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery features Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics, presented by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions LACE, now through January 5, 2025.

Curated by LACE’s former Chief Curator/Director of Programs Daniela Lieja Quintanar with Ana Briz, the project weaves together an exhibition, public programming, performances, educational workshops, and study groups as an evocation of the late Beatriz da Costa’s (1974–2012) approach to the intersections of ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge.

 

PST ART + Science Family Festival is part of PST Art: Art & Science Collide, presented by Getty, hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County at La Brea Tar Pits, and produced by the Edinburgh Science Festival.

This exhibition highlights two popular genres of 19th-century Mexican painting commemorating family members who no longer reside in the household— offering them a lasting presence in the home.
