Downtown opens its doors,
all on the same night

DTLA ArtNight is Downtown’s monthly cultural night. On the first Thursday of every month, galleries, museums, restaurants, bars, rooftops, and studios open together across Downtown Los Angeles, connected by a live map and a free trolley. It is free, it is walkable, and it keeps getting bigger.

Created by Happening in DTLA, ArtNight brings together institutions like The Broad, MOCA, and Grand Performances with the galleries of the Historic Core and the new energy of the Fashion District, one night a month.
