  • Los Angeles, CA | Curator-Led Tour of “Robert Russell and Lisa Edelstein: A Palace in Time” with Vicki Phung Smith

    Skirball Cultural Center 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, California, United States

    Robert Russell and Lisa Edelstein: A Palace in Time invites visitors to reflect on how they spend their time–in the moments when they are celebrating, grieving, and all the small moments in between. Drawing inspiration from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s description of the Sabbath as “a palace in time,” this exhibition brings together new paintings by Los Angeles-based artists and married partners Russell and Edelstein that hold up moments and memories of joy and loss–ever-present in Jewish family traditions and community gatherings.

  • Los Angeles, CA | Curator-Led Tour of “Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon” with Sophia Serrano

    Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 6067 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California

    Presenting hundreds of original objects, including posters, portraits, photographs, production documents, letters, and rarely seen personal materials—many of which will be on display for the first time—the exhibition will give unique insight into her agency in becoming a Hollywood icon. The exhibition will also feature an extensive display of Monroe’s screen-worn costumes, ranging from a dress featured in Love Happy (1949) to items from her final and unfinished film, Something’s Got to Give (1962). Major highlights include two costumes by Orry-Kelly from Some Like it Hot (1959), as well as the rarely exhibited famous pink dress by William Travilla from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953).

  • Los Angeles, CA | Highlights Tour of the David Geffen Galleries at LACMA

    Los Angeles County Museum of Art 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, California

    Forty-five curators working across areas of study collaborated on the initial installation of the Geffen Galleries. The building is designed to hold approximately 2,500 to 3,000 objects from the museum’s global collection at one time, filling 110,000 square feet of gallery space. Rather than displaying artworks according to medium or period, the inaugural installation uses the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea as its organizing framework, emphasizing the cultural exchange, migration, and commerce prevalent throughout the history of art. 

  • Los Angeles, CA | Behind-the-Scenes Tour of LA Art Labs with Kamila M. Korbela

    The studio employs scientific techniques and instrumentation in the planning and implementation of museum-quality conservation treatments, and carries out research into the methods and materials used by artists. It enshrines the highest attainable standard in compliance with the American Institute of Conservation code of ethics and guidelines for practice.  

  • Montebello, CA | Private Tour of the AltaMed Art Collection
