Going in the Right Direction

ForYourArt Map

Art is everywhere you look.

Granted, sometimes it would be nice to see something other than guys with pencil mustaches and kinkajous pontificating on symbols of rebirth and classic avant-garde technique.

Find your way with Map ForYourArt, the new, free, downloadable cheat sheet to all the museums, galleries, nonprofit spaces, shops, and culture depots throughout L.A.

Broken down by hood, the quarterly guide makes it easy to see what’s happening; when and where; and, thanks to indexed street diagrams, how to get there.

And just in time for the first official L.A. Art Weekend starting this Thursday, the spring issue highlights events taking place during the four-day city-wide visual art festival — so you won’t miss Enzo Mari’s industrial design at the Italian Cultural Institute; portraits from Harmony Korine’s new flick, Mister Lonely, at Agnès B.; or the Cal Arts open studios.

So go on, get lost.
