Off-Site Program: Pop-Up Studio: Building Memories Brick by Brick

  • to This is a past program

This program has been moved off-site to the Bowtie Project (2800 Casitas Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039), and the start time has been changed to 10 a.m. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Spend Father’s Day along the L.A. river with contemporary art. Build memories of working together to create clay from scratch and use it to create a temporary installation. Join Made in L.A. 2016 artist Rafa Esparza and his father as they stomp on a mixture of soil, water, hay, and fertilizer to make adobe clay and then form the mixture into sculptural bricks. As your bricks dry in the sun, join a walking tour of the Bowtie Project and explore contemporary art along the L.A. river. 

This program is co-presented by the Hammer Museum, Clockshop, and California State Parks.

10 a.m.–12 p.m.: Join one of four 30-minute sessions with Rafa Esparza, occurring every half hour starting at 10 a.m.
