It’s that time again: a free weekend and you’re just browsing for something to do. This weekend’s art choices will not disappoint. Whether you’re looking for more variety in one go or a little devil-may-care attitude, there are some pretty hot exhibitions going on in LA. They’re free too. Feeling excited yet? Check out Cream of the Crop, It’s Hell Not Having A Hero, and Move A Head.

Cream of the Crop:

Six hand-picked up-and-coming artists will star in this exhibition: Jessica Cooper, Jennifer Jelenski, Caro Lozada, Mike Sosnowski, Star 27, Magda Trzaski. The comical and fantastical are on display as the six artists bring their own touches to the annual group show. Take a look at their individual work on-line and then head over to the gallery. It’s a show you shouldn’t miss.

It’s Hell Not Having A Hero:

The first solo show by the artist Branded, “It’s Hell…” shows us the urban alienation, search for meaning, and vandal culture that shaped his photography and graffiti art. It embodies the search for meaning and truth in a “soulless” world that may lack both - and also the wild ways in which we avoid this truth.

Move A Head:

Artist Amandalynn transforms gallery space into a Victorian-inspired hall filled with headless portraits, cameos, vases, and jewelry. Collaborating with Renee Fontana, the two women infuse vivacious style with floral extensions to create a beautiful mixture of art, design, and nature. They use their impressive artistry to completely change the space they work with and the floral creations of Fontana give this exhibition a very “fresh” look.
