The Art Parade 2026

Ends on

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) invites artists and creatives to participate in The Art Parade, a large-scale public procession on Museum Mile presented as part of the free, all-day LACMA Block Party on June 20, 2026, celebrating the opening of the David Geffen Galleries.

The parade invites participation from artists, musicians, performers, art students, and the city's entire dynamic creative community. Envisioned as a living extension of the museum’s programs, it will activate LACMA's campus and surrounding public space through artistic participation and shared experience, underlining LACMA's longstanding commitment to celebrating artists, presenting art in public spaces, and engaging broad and diverse audiences. 

The Art Parade is open to emerging and established artists and creatives of all ages and backgrounds, including students. Individual artists, collaborative groups, and community-based organizations are welcome to apply. Applications will close on April 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
