The Broad in Los Angeles hosts Celebrate Community with L.A. Taco from 24 to 25 October 2026, bringing DJs, art-making and family activities to East West Bank Plaza. The programme links the downtown contemporary art museum with a public celebration of Los Angeles culture.
Celebrate Community with L.A. Taco runs on 24 and 25 October
The event takes place on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October 2026 from 11am to 4pm on East West Bank Plaza. It is presented with L.A. TACO and forms part of Grand Avenue Arts: All Access, a programme that brings arts and culture institutions along Grand Avenue together for public events, performances and tours. The event programme at The Broad names both days and the venue.
Visitors can join hands-on spray-paint workshops run with SprayDay and contribute to a collaborative mural. The programme also includes DJ sets, with Sonrisita, Passionfruit, Radha and Jasmine Salvino listed for Saturday, while El G, Marlon Fuentes and El Marchante are listed for Sunday. Local artists SABER and Mr B Baby are scheduled to create new work during the weekend.
The Broad connects the weekend programme with its galleries
The museum was founded by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. Its building was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler, and its collection focuses on postwar and contemporary art. The building combines public exhibition space with a visible storage structure, giving the museum a distinctive relationship between its galleries and collection.
That setting gives the October programme a particular arrangement: outdoor activity takes place on East West Bank Plaza while the event’s general admission includes the third-floor collection galleries and The Shop. The museum’s current displays include fresh collection galleries and featured installations by Takashi Murakami and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The event therefore places workshops, music and a changing collection presentation within the same visit.
Installation work changes access inside the museum
The first-floor galleries will be closed for installation on both event days. The third-floor collection galleries remain included with the event’s general admission, while the Yayoi Kusama installation Infinity Mirrored Room - The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away requires separate booking.
The event page also lists a poster giveaway featuring Guadalupe Rosales’s work Has the myth been shattered, which will be available to attendees while supplies last. The artwork gives the weekend a link to the museum’s forthcoming collection exhibition, scheduled to run from 21 November 2026 to 4 April 2027.
