Artsy Events in LA This Weekend: LA Art Show

I’m so happy to be attending great artsy events in LA this weekend! I love how LA is so full of things to do, activities that inspire, and this is just what I need to jump-start creativity. Here are the two events that I’ll be attending this week:

I was able to attend the charity opening gala and it’s really a great show! There are discount tickets available now on Goldstar for $10, originally $20. This includes general admission only and does not include access to all workshops.

The LA Art Show celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year and will be at the LA Convention Center from January 14 thru Sunday, January 18. It will showcase over 120 galleries from over 22 countries, with over 20,000 works of art. It’s LA’s biggest art show and you won’t want to miss it!

There are discount tickets available on Eventbrite for $15.

I hope that you can make it to these events to add a little art to your usual routine (unless you live an artsy life every day). I will be at these events this weekend, so tweet me @thelagirl if you’re around and say hi!
