LACMA Hosts Annual Muse ‘til Midnight Event Inspired by the Art of Noah Purifoy

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosts its annual Muse ‘til Midnight event, bringing hundreds of art lovers together for an exciting late-night museum experience. This year’s event includes after-hours access to the exhibitions Noah Purifoy: Junk Dada and 50 for 50: Gifts on the Occasion of LACMA’s Anniversary, plus music throughout the night curated by ArtDontSleep. The evening begins at Chris Burden’s Urban Light, featuring host KCRW DJ Anthony Valadez with The Drumetrics Collective from San Diego and the psychedelic soul of Adrian Younge and his band Venice Dawn. Attendees may stop by the collage sculpture station, where teaching artists will provide materials and guidance to create a personal work of art. After the festivities in the plaza, guests may enjoy Noah Purifoy with DJs Mark deClive Lowe and Jeremy Ellis, who will mash up disregarded or discarded sounds and create new music—inspired by the way Purifoy assembled sculptures from forgotten objects. For those who love to dance, DJ Rashida and J.PERIOD perform inside the contemporary galleries, where guests may bask in the light of Robert Irwin’s Miracle Mile and view works by artists Richard Serra, Chris Burden, and Kiki Smith.
