Join EPIP LA on a private tour of 21 Collections: Every Object Has a Story with Curator Todd Lerew at Los Angeles Central Library. The exhibition examines the role collections play in telling our stories and those of our communities and Los Angeles at large. With a diverse range of subjects, the exhibition focuses on collections representing an unconventional take on what warrants our attention, as well as highlighting some of the more unique stories that can be revealed through the accumulation of similar or sympathetic materials, or a repetition of elements.

Following the tour, we will have the chance to mingle over lunch at nearby (~7 minute walk) Blue Cow Kitchen, hosted by EPIP LA.  Not able to stay for lunch? That's okay too - Just let us know via email after you RSVP.

Parking is available at 524 South Flower Street Garage. Validation ($4/2 hours) is available at the library's Information Desk (first floor) with a valid library card.  Don't have a library card? Get one! Also, consider taking public transportation. The 7th and Metro station is nearby and provides access to the Red Line, Expo Line, Blue Line, and Purple line.

Space is limited for this event, so make sure to sign up today!  We will meet at the Library Store on the first floor and head up to the Getty Gallery as a group.
