Los Angeles—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s (LACMA) Muse program presents their thirteenth annual ArtWalk on Saturday, May 17, 2008, from noon–11 pm. ArtWalk features an afternoon survey of a unique art scene in Los Angeles and culminates with a celebratory reception in the evening. After traveling for a number of years, ArtWalk returns to the Mid-Wilshire district this year, with more than forty participating galleries, in conjunction with the recent debut of LACMA’s Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM).

Muse is also partnering up with the participating galleries this year for an exceptional lineup of programming, including artist lectures, art seminars, musical performances, and much more. Programs will be held throughout the afternoon from noon–6 pm, followed by happy hours at select host galleries from 6–8 pm. Muse will host the ArtWalk After Party at LACMA’s newly opened BP Grand Entrance from 8:15–11 pm, concluding the day with complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, as well as a performance by the Los Angeles-based indie rock/pop trio Craft Club.
