Guest curated by Jennifer Bonner, Kyle Miller, and Volkan Alkanoglu, One-Night Stand LA is back for 2017. The one-night affair “calls on architects to be critical of the installation as a medium for architectural experimentation and challenges participants to invent a new model of action for developing their work...At the end of the night, the participants of One-Night Stand LA 2017 must pledge to abandon the architectural installation as their primary medium for production. Last Call is a last call.”

The Museums of the Arroyo Day is when six museums across L.A. and Pasadena — including the Gamble House, the Lummis Home, and The Autry's Southwest Museum — open their doors to the public free of charge for one day. The yearly event celebrates the “art, architecture and history of the Arroyo Seco area found in the six unique history-based museums that preserve and perpetuate early Los Angeles life.”
