If there is one think Los Angeles has plenty of- it’s culture. From art to food and everything in between, our city has such a dynamic personality. All we can do is explore it’s offerings, and try to experience as much as we can fit in our busy schedules. That’s why we are so excited for Artopia.
L.A. Weekly is excited to confirm the final line-up for this year’s Artopia at OUE Skyspace in DTLA! On Saturday, November 5th from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., join them as they curate an evening of celebration of the vibrant arts and culture scene of Los Angeles.
“DUBLAB is partnering with L.A. Weekly in curating Artopia 2016. The LA based non-profit radio station is bringing its unique vision and approach in presenting a wide-ranging community of artists across disciplines and styles. Starting with the soundtrack provided by DUBLAB DJs, video art, installations, dance and music performances, sculptures, interactive/participatory projects and even scents will be what makes this Artopia unique. From the top of the city at OUE Skyspace, DUBLAB will showcase what the organization feels is representative of the Los Angeles creative community and beyond.” – Ale Cohen, Executive Director, DUBLAB.
“Throughout the year, L.A. Weekly scours our city’s expansive creative communities, surfacing the edgiest, and most forward-thinking art and culture discovered by our astute team of writers, videographers,
photographers, and editors. Artopia is our chance to bring together a select a select group of creatives who are somehow pushing the boundaries of culture and redefining the ways we think of art. For one night, we turn a space into a virtual edition of our issue, as attendees experience first hand the music, art, food, and cocktails that grace our pages and website. For this edition of Artopia, we’re especially proud to be partnering with DUBLAB, a stellar nexus of L.A.’s music and artistic communities, who have been on the forefront of cultural output and activity over the last 17 years.” – Drew Tewksbury, Managing Editor, L.A.
