Best Spring Art Events In Los Angeles
The best art this spring is to be found in an eclectic mix from the surreal to formal gardens and origami, in an urban cityscape or with indoor collections and from world-class photography to impressionistic works. In all, a holistic environment enhances art on display or in action. Southlanders can celebrate another spring through creative genius and interpretation or with realistic renditions. These five opportunities evoke the shocking and sublime beginnings of the season of renewal.

With a wide-ranging collection of every possible subject, the ongoing spring special showing, titled "The Power of Photography: National Geographic 125 Years," brings out the stark and sublime of our world.

Emotions of understanding are evoked, and the photo art brings out the depth of its subjects. From landscape vistas to close-ups of people, and from the familiar to the exotic, viewers will be struck by the quality and professionalism of the individual photo artists.

The cherry tree's brilliant pink blossoms announce spring's advent, and at the Cherry Blossom Festival in March, the Descanso Gardens are bringing Japan's cultural tradition to the Southland once again. The entire event is a reverent welcoming of the season of rebirth. Cherry trees will be on sale, the art of origami is to be demonstrated, Minyo Station will meld western pop and Japanese traditional music in concert, and more. The garden, in and of itself, is a demonstration of the art of gardening. The sedate and sublime essence of that tradition is enjoyed amid the refined gardens with fine cuisine, enactments and guided walks.

"Room to Live: Recent Acquisitions and Works from the Collection" runs through late March with "room-scale" art at The Museum of Contemporary Art. Founded in 1979, the directors have built an extensive collection dating back to the 1940s and the MOCA is the only museum dedicated to contemporary art in the Southland as well. With this showing, curator Bennett Simpson includes works from the 1960s in traditional media such as sculpture, painting and drawing, but with the sixties generation of artists, we began to see photography and video/film as well as installation art start to take hold of the public's imagination.
