The Art Parade

 

 

The Art Parade is a large-scale public celebration marking the opening of the David Geffen Galleries. In a public procession on Museum Row/Wilshire Blvd, the parade showcases mobile sculptures, costumes, banners, inflatables, music, and movement-based works that activate public space through collective artistic expression.

Conceived two decades ago by influential art dealer and curator Jeffrey Deitch, The Art Parade ran annually in New York’s SoHo from 2005 to 2008, bringing together more than 1,000 participants each year in a creative procession that transformed the streets into a living gallery. 
This Los Angeles edition marks a pivotal moment in LACMA’s history and for the city itself. The opening of the David Geffen Galleries culminates a two-decade campus transformation, with the new Peter Zumthor-designed building adding 110,000 square feet of gallery space and creating 3.5 acres of new outdoor public space at LACMA.

The Art Parade both celebrates this cultural moment and underlines LACMA’s longstanding commitment to celebrating artists, presenting art in public spaces, and engaging broad and diverse audiences. 

The call for proposals for The Art Parade 2026 is now closed.

The series of David Geffen Galleries opening events is presented by East West Bank.
The Block Party and Art Parade are presented by East West Bank Foundation.
