Barnsdall Park, Los Angeles

An art gallery complex, screening space and a charming historic estate masterminded by Frank Lloyd Wright, Barnsdall Park is a unique phenomenon gracing the west side of Silver Lake. Sitting in the middle of a verdant park, a few terraces above Hollywood Boulevard, the complex is a large well-appointed structure, weekly alternating a wide scope of events and happening. Special exhibits (traditional media and multimedia), art galas and celebrations, screenings series, retrospects, art classes, lectures and even wine tastings, are all available to the public for a modest fee. Fueled by a genuine passion to promote art awareness and appreciation in the local community, Barnsdall designs its programming to include youth, mature audiences and families. Plan your visit around a special event or just drop by some sun-washed evening to stroll the grounds and soak in the pretty setting. -Kate Sobol
