The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles is a contemporary art museum with three locations in greater Los Angeles, California. The main branch is located on Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, near Walt Disney Concert Hall. MOCA's original space, initially intended as a "temporary" exhibit space while the main facility was built, is now known as the Geffen Contemporary, in the Little Tokyo district of downtown Los Angeles. The Pacific Design Center facility is in West Hollywood.The museum's exhibits consist primarily of American and European contemporary art created after 1940. Since the museum's inception, MOCA's programming has been defined by its multi-disciplinary approach to contemporary art.FoundingIn a 1979 political fund raising event at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, Councilman Joel Wachs, and local philanthropist Marcia Simon Weisman happened to be seated at the same table. Throughout the evening, Weisman passionately discussed the city's need for a contemporary art museum. In the following weeks, the Mayor's Museum Advisory Committee was organized. The committee, led by William A. Norris, set about creating a museum from scratch, including locating funds, trustees, directors, curators, a gallery, and most importantly an art collection. That same year, Weisman and five other key local collectors signed an agreement whereby they would pledge chunks of their private collections, worth up to $6 million, "to create a museum of standing and repute."

Established August 2013, Slow Culture was founded as an independent art gallery located in the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park. With an exhaustive schedule of programming, the gallery has been focused on developing a narrative of it’s own over the past 3 years. From art shows, commercial projects, to off site exhibits, an extensive range of media has been explored. During this time, the concept has evolved from gallery to a culture based platform. Committed to sustaining this growth, Slow Culture felt the need to find a new home. With an established community of art galleries and proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, Chinatown felt like the right location. This new space will provide the gallery flexibility to expand it’s concept and provide their community a facility to help foster their creative growth. Slow Culture’s focus is to develop a both physical and digital platform to support artists & creatives across all mediums.

Located at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, is the premier venue for the expression of traditional and contemporary art and culture from the Mexican, and Mexican American perspective.

IAO’s work embraces three primary areas of intent: We Innovate by creating an environment that encourages new exploration of the olfactive arts, fostering discussion and experience of scent through strategic cross-discipline projects, and by providing space for experimentation in our Perfumers’ Lab. Similarly, we facilitate new creative practices spanning the popular and fine arts through project-based residency and research programs. We Educate by generating greater public awareness of scent and perfumery and by helping emergent perfumers gain greater knowledge, exposure and skills. As well, we inform the public about social and scientific issues that impact the art form. We do this by offering ongoing series of classes and workshops, and through a public speaking series. We Support by advancing the art of perfumery and the work of independent scent creators through business mentorships and creative partnerships, and with our ongoing creative residency programs in our Los Angeles chief facility. In 2013 we launched the Art and Olfaction Awards, an awards mechanism devoted to promoting and advancing independent and artisan perfumers. More information can be found at artandolfactionawards.com

The Pico House is a historic building in Los Angeles, California, dating from its days as a small town in Southern California. Located on 430 North Main Street, it sits across the old Los Angeles Plaza from Olvera Street and El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument.HistoryPío Pico, a successful businessman who was the last Mexican Governor of Alta California, ordered construction of a luxury hotel in the growing town. The architect was Ezra F. Kysor, who also designed the Cathedral of Saint Vibiana, and it was constructed between 1869 and 1870. The resulting Italianate three story, 33-room hotel, dubbed Pico House (or Casa de Pico) was the most extravagant and lavish hotel in Southern California, and its opening was cause for much celebration. It had a total of nearly 80 rooms, large windows, a small interior court, and a grand staircase. In the days of the hotel's primacy the courtyard featured a fountain and an aviary of exotic birds. The structure forms three sides of a trapezoid whose open end immediately abuts the adjacent Merced Theatre, thus forming the courtyard. The back of the hotel faces Sanchez Street, where the large gate used by supply wagons and other large vehicles can still be seen.Its time in the spotlight did not last very long. By 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad had linked the city with the rest of the country and more residents and businessman began pouring in. Pio Pico himself started having financial troubles, and lost the hotel to the San Francisco Savings and Loan Company.
