Can you feel it? The days are getting longer and the morning air less crisp. In just a matter of weeks, the So Cal temperatures have risen just enough to add a few more hours of sunshine to each weekend. Uncertain of how to spend those hours? See below for our recommendations on how to enjoy more of the beautiful April Spring days:
PySanka Festival
April 14th - Noon-5pm
Ukrainian Culture Center
Learn how to decorate a traditional Ukrainian Easter egg (a pysanka, which features colorful wax applied to the egg) during this free community festival. The Ukrainian Culture Center hosts an afternoon with Ukrainian food, entertainment and an Easter market. Though the event is free to attend, donations are accepted at the door; those as well as food and vendor proceeds benefit humanitarian war relief through the Ukrainian Art Center and Post Angeles.
Now through May 5th
Downtown Arts District
In 1993, artist Charles Gaines mounted " The Theater of Refusal: Black Art and Mainstream Criticism," a UC Irvine gallery show that responded to the country’s cultural and political crises with works from then-up-and-coming Black artists. Now, three decades later, Hauser & Wirth has revived the show in two parts: a small reprise of "The Theater of Refusal" with ’90s pieces from Gaines, Gary Simmons and Lorna Simpson, as well as a larger room that continues the show’s themes with recent works from Lauren Halsey, Rashid Johnson, Caroline Kent and more.
