Getty Center hosts Ever Present: A Moveable Feast of No: No Wave Women with Adele Bertei in Los Angeles on 4 October 2026. The public performance brings music, spoken contributions and roaming artists to the museum campus from 3pm to 9pm.
The programme places a contemporary No Wave gathering among the Getty Center's gardens, architecture and collections. It is a current event for visitors in Los Angeles, rather than a general exhibition listing.
Ever Present brings No Wave performance to Getty Center
The Getty's programme includes BUSH TETRAS, Ikue Mori and Julianna Barwick, MITH with Adele Bertei, Adee Roberson and Anna Luisa Petrisko, and The Maria Schneider Guitar Army. Julia Heyward, Zoe Hansen, Tammy Faye Starlight, Felice Rosser and Eszter Balint are also listed for words and sounds during the evening.
The schedule moves through several parts of the campus. The Maria Schneider Guitar Army begins at 3pm, MITH appears on the Garden Terrace at 4pm, and words and sounds follow there at 4.30pm. Ikue Mori and Julianna Barwick perform on the Courtyard Stage at 6pm, followed by BUSH TETRAS at 7pm. The Getty event listing identifies the date, venue and programme. A second Los Angeles event listing places the same performance at the museum.
The Getty Center links No Wave to its gardens and galleries
Ever Present is designed for experimental intersections of poetry, performance, dance and music. The 4 October programme therefore uses the site itself as part of the setting, with the Garden Terrace and Museum Courtyard serving as named performance locations rather than treating the museum as a conventional concert hall.
The surrounding institution presents European art from the Middle Ages to today in modern architecture and gardens. Its current programme also includes photography exhibitions at the Center, including Every Minute Is History: Five Views of Los Angeles, which examines the work of five photographers and representations of Chicano/a communities in Los Angeles. That exhibition runs from 1 September 2026 to 3 January 2027 in the Museum West Pavilion's Lower Level.
The combination of a No Wave performance and photography displays gives the October programme a direct connection to the Center's wider emphasis on art, place and public interpretation. Visitors can encounter a scheduled live event while the galleries and gardens remain the larger setting for the visit.
What the 4 October programme means for visitors
The event is standing room only, with some seating towards the back of the event space. Getty states that tickets are free but required, and the event ticket also serves as the entrance reservation for the Center.
Arrival involves security before visitors take the tram or walk up the hill. The event listing says that the ticket is checked before either route, making the performance reservation part of the practical arrival process rather than a separate late entry.
