Los Angeles road concerts

The Los Angeles Road Concerts are annual exhibitions of site-specific performances, installations, readings, lectures, and carpool happenings along streets in Los Angeles. Past events took place along San Fernando Road, Washington Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, and Mulholland Drive, with works by over 200 artists.[1] Los Angeles Road Concerts seeks to investigate the possibilities of LA's lengthy streets as sites for artistic exploration while celebrating each street itself as a cross-section to observe the city's diversity of landscapes and people, how the Los Angeles metropolis grew, and the assortment of in-betweens and negative spaces it left behind as it expanded.[2] The next event, in Downtown Los Angeles, scheduled for November 20, 2016, is accepting submissions.[1]
