PART #2 - Art

Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

1717 E. 7th St. Los Angeles CA 90021

FREE ADMISSION!

We will walk about 10 minutes to the nearby Institute of Contemporary Art, a non-collecting contemporary art museum located in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. An epicenter of artistic experimentation and incubator of new ideas, ICA LA is recognized for its history of bold curatorial vision and innovative programming to illuminate the important untold stories and emerging voices in contemporary art and culture.

Founded in 1988 as the Santa Monica Museum of Art and reestablished in 2017 with a new identity and home in the Arts District, ICA LA’s 12,700 square-foot renovated industrial building was designed by wHY Architecture under the leadership of Kulapat Yantrasast and features ample space for exhibitions, public programs, retail pop-ups, integrated offices, and special projects.

Current Exhibits

Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses

Amia Yokoyama: Our Strange Hollows

PART #3 - Walking

Sixth Street Viaduct

East 6th St. Los Angeles CA 90013

We will walk about 15 minutes to the Sixth Street Viaduct, a 3,500-foot bridge crossing the Los Angeles River, connecting the Boyle Heights community to the east with the Arts District and downtown to the west. Replacing the original 1932 structure, the new viaduct operates as both infrastructure and urban architecture—accommodating vehicular traffic, bicycles, and pedestrians while establishing new spatial and programmatic relationships between the bridge, the river, and the neighborhoods it links. Rather than serving solely as a thoroughfare at a single elevation, the project creates continuous connections along its entire length, opening access to the structure and the landscapes beneath it. Opened to the public in July 2022, the new $588 million Sixth Street Viaduct is the largest bridge project in the history of Los Angeles.

We will then walk back to Smorgasburg, about 30 minutes away.

I estimate that our total walking distance will be about 3.5 miles with no elevation gain/loss.
