826LA@Hammer: Writing About Art (& Finding It Everywhere!)

  • This is a past program

You’re never too young to be a cultural critic! Pick a piece of your favorite art and write a review, recommendation, short story, or comic inspired by the different types of art humans interact with each day: Books! Songs! Movies! Video games! Comics! Paintings! Performance! Architecture! And more!

Led by Tierney Finster, a writer and artist from L.A. with work published in the Los Angeles Times, Vice, and more. She also has her own podcast, Tierney Talks.

All public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.   

Major support is provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, and the Elizabeth Bixby Janeway Foundation. Additional support is provided by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and all Hammer members.   

Digital presentation of Hammer public programs is made possible by The Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.  

Hammer public programs are presented online in partnership with the #KeepThePromise campaign—a movement promoting social justice and human rights through the arts. 

Academic Programs at the Hammer Museum are supported by the Elizabeth Bixby Janeway Foundation, the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation, and the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation. Additional support is provided by The Brotman Foundation of California, City National Bank, McCrea Foundation, Ellen & Teddy Schwarzman, Jay Meredith Stein & Josh Zwass, and friends of the Hammer Museum's Kids Art Museum Project (K.A.M.P.).
