What to Love in L.A. Today

Free Art: Escape the August heat by heading to the coast today to check out the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Part of the Bergamot Station arts complex, the Santa Monica Museum of Art is a non-collecting museum that features a variety of rotating exhibitions and programs. There is a suggested donation ($5 general admission, $3 for artists, students, and seniors), but technically you can enter for free. Having written that, if you enjoy what you see at the museum, I’m sure any donation you could spare would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, and there’s free parking.

Santa Monica Museum of Art, 2525 Michigan Avenue, Tuesday–Saturday, 11 am to 6 pm, free.
