Anyone who is in Los Angeles and says “there’s nothing to do in LA” probably has a very limited social life because there is always something to do in the city.
It’s all over place, too, with a great variety of events and activities, one of which is the Barnsdall Fridays Wine Tasting Series. Taking place on Olive Hill and the West Lawn of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, this is a classy, unique-to-LA happening that is part wine tasting and part picnic.
The 17th annual Barnsdall Fridays Wine Nights is from May 29 thru September 11. Hosted by the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation, this city tradition unfolds every Friday evening from 5:30-9 p.m., on the scenic grounds of Barnsdall Art Park. General admission is at $55 and that includes four glasses of wine from Silverlake Wine along with a rotating lineup of local food trucks and DJ performances.
People also have evening access to exhibitions at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery as well as Friday Art Nights, which take place later in the season. A limited number of $90 tickets will grant guests after-hours access to explore the historic Hollyhock House through intimate interior tours; designated driver tickets are also available. These are 21-and-over events.
As a cornerstone fundraiser, 100% of proceeds support arts programming and preservation at the park, with this year’s fundraiser especially critical amid proposed budget and staffing cuts to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
Tickets are available at www.barnsdall.org.
