Summary
LACMA unleashed its first-ever Art Parade, transforming Wilshire Boulevard into a vibrant street gallery celebrating the grand opening of its new David Geffen Galleries after a $724 million, 20-year build. With 60,000 attendees, the event blended giant balloons, wild costumes, and community art—showcasing everything from disco ball floats to sidewalk safety advocacy and queer cultural tributes. Museum director Michael Govan called it the start of LACMA becoming the city’s “living room,” while organizer Jeffrey Deitch ensured inclusivity for all voices. Powered by the new Metro D-line, it was a dazzling, inclusive celebration of L.A.’s creative soul—and a preview of what’s to come.
