24 Hour Donut City II
If I had a list of things I love: art, donuts and Los Angeles would be at the top. This weekend all three came together at the 24 donut pop up at LACMA.
In celebration of the 24-hour screening of artist Christian Marclay’s The Clock, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 24 Hour Donut City is a reception giving away free donuts for 24 hours with new donut selections every two hours.
I love to take the kids to pop up art exhibitions so that they can see all that the city has to offer. However seeing as how I wanted to go later in the evening to avoid the crowds I knew staying up might be a feat for the kids. But hey, there were donuts involved, I was sure they’d manage.
The pop up was across the street from LACMA and the tiny gallery was pretty crowded. People surrounded the free donut table and oohed and aahed just as if they were looking at fine pieces of art. Sweet, delicious art if you ask me.
We arrived at the 9 o’clock hour when the selection varied from a few leftover Rainbow Sprinkled Donut Holes from Bob’s and Green Tea Donuts from Cafe Dulce in Little Tokyo.
Since I once judged over 40 dozen donuts in the LA Donut Summit, I know my donuts. We grabbed the Chocolate Sprinkles donuts provided by S+K and settled in to people watch. There were lots of art and donut lovers milling about while the iPod dj played sweet sounds from Depeche Mode and Neneh Cherry. This was my kind of art gathering.
There was also a table where you could color your own donut and have your art displayed on the wall. You didn’t have to ask my kids twice, and they quickly got to work.
The kids love going out and exploring Los Angeles but nighttime is extra special. We walked through a few open galleries at LACMA, and at the end the kids got to do their favorite thing, run through Chris Burden’s “Urban Light” display. Hide and seek in a million dollar+ work of art. A pretty good way to end the night.
