  • Sunday 18th 4:30 AM

On the evening of October 18th we gather upon the lawn and land of Hollyhock House to sit within the music of local legend and one of our longtime heroes, Tara Jane O’Neil. 

If a sunset concert of intimate story and open-hearted experimentation alongside a historic Frank Lloyd Wright house in an art park that overlooks the city sounds like something you might be interested in, then you’ve found your people.

Thank you to Porchfest LA for encouraging free, community-powered music throughout our neighborhoods.  Thank you to Hollyhock House for organizing such a potent gathering on your own iconic back porch & inviting us to be a part. Thank you to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for helping to support and fund an unbelievable amount of art throughout Los Angeles so that we can gather easily and freely with one another to share in stories, exploration, and transcendent moments.

This gathering is free & all ages (always). Please plan to arrive early, bring water to stay hydrated, a blanket to sit on, and we ask that within the lawn of Hollyhock House there be no dogs or chairs / outdoor furniture. If those are essential needs (we understand), then you’re welcome to have both within the surrounding grass of Barnsdall Park where you’ll still be able to listen and watch!

Construction, Occupation

Construction, Occupation presents the work of 24 artists and collectives that engage art’s potential to shape the city through the power of community. Drawing on myriad visual languages and poetics grounded in collective action, the exhibition investigates a radical urban vocabulary that blurs art and activism to address questions of infrastructure and vulnerability, circulation and segregation, and the body in public
