MOCA presents a day of community, creativity, and celebration centered around Art for All for Grand Ave Arts: All Access 2024. From the Central Library to The Music Center and everywhere in between, GAAAA invites visitors of all ages to experience the world-class arts and cultural institutions along Grand Avenue. Join us for an afternoon of fun for all ages including artmaking, gallery activities, music, and more. Plus, the Sustainable Skillbuilding series will return with a hands-on workshop that builds practical knowledge to reduce environmental impact through creative reuse, repair, and low-impact living.

Sustainable Skillbuilding: Pottery Remix
12-3:30 PM
Join Remainders Creative Reuse for Pottery Remix, a free all-ages Sustainable Skillbuilding workshop. This workshop teaches creative reuse, rerouting cycles of consumerism and questioning our relationship to waste. Utilizing ideas of destruction and rebirth, recombine broken pottery pieces into new vessels and forms. BYOP (Bring Your Own Pottery) or use Remainders-provided pottery shards to create your own remix.

Planting the Plaza: Envisioning a Greener L.A.
11am–4pm
Participants are invited to create cutouts inspired by California native plants and add them to a "communal growing garden” on the plaza. In the reading room at MOCA Grand Avenue, engage with our new Family Project, Building on Bunker Hill: What was here? What's next?. For this new self-guided activity, we ask participants to think about Bunker Hill and how much it has changed over time. The buildings on the avenue reflect those changes. Participants will use building blocks to redesign and transform buildings in the area surrounding MOCA.
