While there are many art programs available to students throughout the District, there is, perhaps, no better endorsement of the importance of art to our children than a family visit to a local art museum. The Los Angeles area is filled with exciting art museums the entire family can enjoy.
In this edition of Culver Currents, we feature The Hammer Museum located at 10899 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles (www.hammer.ucla.edu).
As of Feb. 9, the Hammer Museum eliminates its admission fee and becomes entirely free to the public. Free admission coincides with the opening of the Hammer’s new exhibition Take It or Leave It: Institution, Image, Ideology. Join the Hammer for the opening day celebration, featuring a photo booth and fun giveaways!
The Hammer is committed to eliminating admission fees permanently. Free admission is made possible through the generosity of longtime Hammer Museum benefactors Erika J. Glazer and Brenda R. Potter. Erika Glazer is an art collector who joined the Hammer’s Board of Directors in 2009. She has worked in the real estate business, construction, and as a private investor since 1976. Brenda Potter has been a Hammer supporter since 2003. An avid art collector, Potter is also a Fine Art Commissioner for the City of Beverly Hills.
