LA Art Parade prep- All hands on deck making mushroom hats for our walking installation. Titled ‘If We Were More like Mushrooms’ we embody the idea of cultivating community and explore our shared experiences as part of nature herself.

The Art Parade is a large-scale public celebration marking the opening of the David Geffen Galleries. In a public procession on Museum Row/Wilshire Blvd, the parade showcases mobile sculptures, costumes, banners, inflatables, music, and movement-based works that activate public space through collective artistic expression.

Conceived two decades ago by influential art dealer and curator Jeffrey Deitch, The Art Parade ran annually in New York’s SoHo from 2005 to 2008, bringing together more than 1,000 participants each year in a creative procession that transformed the streets into a living gallery.

This Los Angeles edition marks a pivotal moment in LACMA’s history and for the city itself. The opening of the David Geffen Galleries culminates a two-decade campus transformation, with the new Peter Zumthor-designed building adding 110,000 square feet of gallery space and creating 3.5 acres of new outdoor public space at LACMA
The Art Parade both celebrates this cultural moment and underlines LACMA’s longstanding commitment to celebrating artists, presenting art in public spaces, and engaging broad and diverse audiences.The Art Parade is part of the Grand Opening Weekend, June 18-22.
