Kick off this year’s Jazz at LACMA season with Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band. The 18-member ensemble earned four Grammy nominations and is internationally known as one of the most exciting large ensembles in jazz music. Pack a picnic, lay out your blankets, and ease into the weekend.

Don’t miss your chance to see Apostles of Nature: Jugendstil and Art Nouveau before it closes on Sunday. Art Nouveau artists across Europe had different goals, approaches and materials, but were united with one passionate desire—to make beautiful things in order to insert beauty to life itself. Explore prints, posters, books, and textiles in this striking exhibition and discover how this art movement brings aesthetic ideals into everyday modern life. Read more about the art movement's influence on contemporary art and film. 

Bring your kids to Andell Family Sundays for a workshop based on the bright designs of Awazu Kiyoshi. Create posters inspired by the Japanese designer’s signature style that wove together folklore and city life, all in bright colors.
