Being an art lover is not an easy task in Los Angeles with that many high profile exhibitions spaces and art schools around: LACMA, the Geffen Contemporary, Hammer, Getty Center, CalArts, Art Center, ... the list is long.

Even though MOCA went through several years of mismanagement, it still managed to maintain something like a profile within LA's scene. Sadly, the permanent collection is not that fresh, and exhibitions often strike me as shallow, but nonetheless, this is an artspace that is desperately needed downtown!
