A Giveaway

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the first time I set foot at the Pasadena Museum of California Art was late last year, to see the Wayne Thiebaud exhibit. That first visit impressed me.

PMCA features smartly curated rotating exhibits focusing on California artists. Currently, the museum just opened their new exhibits. This post features a giveaway for two tickets to the museum, plus a couple of letterpressed cards sold only at PMCA's store.

To enter, send an e-mail (blog@mpresstudio.com) and tell me what you'll be making for Thanksgiving this year. The winner will be picked at random on Friday morning, November 19th.

Free Thursdays at the Skirball Center

Veterans Day found me with a Kindergartener with nothing to do so together with a friend and her son, we headed over to the Skirball Cultural Center for their free Thursday program.

The Skirball is one of my favorite museums in Los Angeles. The art galleries are finely curated, there are lots of picnic area, the gardens are beautifully landscaped and the museum itself is very kid-friendly but in a sophisticated kind of way.

Enter their Noah's Ark installation. A visual feast to the eyes and imagination, it is an interactive display that allows everyone to touch and explore.

I'm always renewed every time I visit the Skirball. Hope you can visit it soon.

Stay tuned next week for a giveaway featuring another favorite museum of mine in Los Angeles.
