Celebrate an Outdoor Sculpture Summer Festival with three days of free activities and events with Art Muse Academy, in partnership with the Hammer Museum and the City of Beverly Hills’ Community Services and its Arts and Culture Commission this summer! Los Angeles is home to incredible public art by the world’s leading artists. The event began on July 30, 2022, but will run through August 7, 2022.

This festival of events features an art walk and two garden settings that are designed for all to enjoy outdoor sculpture. Explore art with a treasure hunt, a highlights tour, and art-making activities. Visitors can also experience sculpture on their own using the West LA Outdoor Sculpture (WLAOS) Guide. Designed by Art Muse Academy, the WLAOS Guide helps participants connect to our city through the parks and sites in West Los Angeles where outdoor sculpture is installed. WLAOS Guide is a self-guided tour, featuring sculptures found at four locations: Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden at UCLA, Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills, Century City, and Westfield Mall. 

A map for each location helps you find the sculptures featured in the WLAOS Guide. It is suggested that you look at the sculpture and move around it, before reading the background information in the guide. Viewing sculpture outdoors is a special experience! One’s impression is affected by the point of view, quality of light, time of day, weather, and personal encounters. Free for all to view, there are over 100 sculptures to experience under the blue skies of LA.
