The Montalbán

A Night of Sci-Fi Adventure: Project Hail Mary Under the Stars
An Epic Rooftop Screening of Project Hail Mary!
Join us at The Montalbán Rooftop for an epic night of science, suspense, humor, and interstellar adventure beneath the Hollywood skyline. With Happy Hour specials beginning at 6:00 PM and the film starting promptly at 8:00 PM, this is your chance to experience one of the year’s biggest cinematic adventures on the big screen under the stars.
Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up alone aboard a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there—or why he is light-years from home. As his memories begin to return, Ryland discovers that he may be humanity’s last hope against a threat unlike anything Earth has ever faced.
Based on Andy Weir’s acclaimed novel, Project Hail Mary is a thrilling, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt story about ingenuity, survival, and the unexpected connections that can change everything. Whether you are a longtime fan of the book or discovering the story for the first time, there is no better place to take the journey than beneath the stars at The Montalbán Rooftop.
Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. No outside food or drink is permitted. Tickets are non-refundable; however, in the event of inclement weather, credit will be offered toward a future screening. A $3 preservation fee supports the historic Ricardo Montalbán Theatre.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/156073/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Angels Gate Cultural Center

Free admission or $5 suggested donation 
OPaf 8 features booths by local, national, and international contemporary galleries and artist projects gathering in and around Battery Leary-Merriam, a decommissioned Army battery on the grounds of Angels Gate Cultural Center. Operating outside traditional art systems, Other Places art fair provides a platform for artists of all backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses, creating an inclusive, entirely outdoor space for artistic projects united by the intention to exist in alternative settings free of commercial boundaries. <a href="https://www.opaf.info/accessibility" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Accessibility info here</a>
This year's OPaf Workshop Tent&nbsp; includes hands-on weaving, voice and rhythm meditation, embroidery, printmaking, and mixed media sculpture workshops. These artist-led sessions serve as a vibrant hub for community engagement, and cater to individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, fostering a sense of community through shared artistic experiences. The workshops will culminate with a communal kite building project which will be flown at the closing of the event.&nbsp;
Additionally, OPaf 8 will feature artist readings and talks and a music and performance area hosted by bed crumb show*
 Other Places art fair (OPaf) was born eight years ago as a response to the expansion of LA Art Fair Week™. We felt a need to provide a limitless gathering place for all the off-the-grid and under-the-radar contemporary art spaces and projects excluded from broader conversations. OPaf was founded in the belief that boundaries - whether fiscal, physical, or imaginary - should not influence decisions to show or make art.
The bloating of the art market and the Fairs at its core have made the ground contemporary art currently stands on unstable at best and completely eroded at worst. As the art world grapples with its latest last gasp moment we seek a new, undefineable first breath, unaffected by tradition and power and gate keepers.
At this year’s event we are leaning into the moment and encouraging beautiful confusion, community gathering, hands-on making, and discussion as we navigate what’s next, together.&nbsp;
Won’t you join us?
Other Places is committed to providing a public exhibition space with a focus on equality and community. OPaf is community-driven and culturally relevant, welcoming people from all backgrounds.
A calendar of Other Places art fair related events will be posted at <a href="https://OPaf.info" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OPaf.info</a>
