SUMMARY:Destiny Is a Rose: The Eileen Harris Norton Collection
DESCRIPTION:Renowned for her generosity to artists and institutions\, Eileen Harris Norton has built an inspiring art collection and forged a philanthropic legacy by focusing upon the work of women artists\, as well as artists of color and of her native California. Marking fifty years since Harris Norton made her first acquisition—a print purchased in 1976 directly from Los Angeles artist and African American arts advocate Ruth Waddy—‘Destiny Is a Rose’ will present more than 80 works from Harris Norton’s holdings in an exhibition conceived to celebrate the connoisseurship and commitment to social justice and learning that she embodies. \nTaking its title from a 1990 painting by Kerry James Marshall\, ‘Destiny Is a Rose’ features paintings\, sculptures and works on paper by Mark Bradford\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, David Hammons\, Glenn Ligon\, Marshall\, Patrick Martinez\, Beatriz Milhazes\, Michael Norton\, Catherine Opie\, Yoshitomo Nara\, Senga Nengudi\, Lorraine O’Grady\, Betye Saar\, Amy Sherald\, Lorna Simpson\, Bob Thompson\, Kara Walker and Carrie Mae Weems\, among many others. In conjunction with the exhibition\, Hauser & Wirth Publishers will release a fully illustrated catalogue with texts by Dr. Kellie Jones and exhibition curator Ingrid Schaffner.

SUMMARY:The American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce
DESCRIPTION:From the Revolutionary Era to the present day\, quilts have served as both cherished heirlooms and silent witnesses to the evolution of American industry\, politics\, and global trade. The American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce explores how the materials\, dyes\, and techniques used in quiltmaking reflect centuries of economic shifts and technological innovation. Featuring over 40 quilts and coverlets from Bowers Museum’s permanent collection\, as well as loans from the family of famed quilter Jean Ray Laury and others\, this exhibition traces the journey of fibers like cotton\, silk\, wool\, rayon\, and polyester through two and a half centuries of American quilting. \nVisitors will encounter quilts that speak to the mass-production of domestically printed cotton fabric in the 19th century\, as well as to the ingenuity of makers during times of scarcity\, such as Depression-era scrap quilts and wartime cotton regulations. Highlights include a rare 1776 whole-cloth wool quilt\, an early Bethlehem Star quilt with chintz appliqué\, a quilt made of handkerchiefs commemorating the American centennial in 1876\, and a 1975 pictorial quilt celebrating scenes of California life. \nThrough these textiles\, period ephemera\, and multimedia interactives\, The American Quilt invites reflection on the intimate relationship between cloth and community\, and how trade policies shape the availability and aesthetics of everyday materials. Whether hand-stitched by anonymous or known makers\, each quilt offers a tactile record of American life\, labor\, and legacy. \nExhibit Credit:  \nThe American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce is organized by Bowers Museum and curated by Tara Miller. The exhibition is supported by Flying Geese Quilters Guild and Repiecers – Southern California Study Group

SUMMARY:Bob Moses and Cannons: Afterglow Tour
DESCRIPTION:Oxis KCRW Festival \nHypnotic nights and electric energy await when the two electro-pop groups come to town. \nWith one foot in the electronic music scene and another in the world of indie rock\, Bob Moses’ music is deeply affecting and perfectly constructed. Billboard said of their 2025 album BLINK\, “All of the smoothness and sophistication we’ve long loved about the duo’s output is present…with Tom Howie’s rich vocals giving emotional depth to the lush productions.” All that and they’re capable of powering mega-parties like EDC and Coachella. Their sets at those fests and on their own global tours have turned heads and moved hips for over a decade. Influential electronic music website Resident Advisor twice called them the best live act of the year\, their track “Love Brand New” made them Alternative radio chart-toppers\, and in 2017 the Grammys made them award winners. At the Bowl\, they’ll make you dance and so much more. \nCannons’ own neon-lit hybrid of electro-pop\, disco\, and synthwave has the sleek\, anything-could-happen vibes of a night out in the big city—complete with a little bit of danger. Their hit “Fire for You” popped up in American Horror Story on its way to going gold and topping the Billboard Alternative chart. Acclaimed by Billboard\, The Hollywood Reporter\, and Consequence\, Cannons have lit up stages at Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Outside Lands\, and beyond\, and they’ll be returning in 2026 with new music\, marking the start of their next chapter. This is emotionally powerful futuristic music—imagine the end credits for a cyberpunk rom-com and you’re almost there.

SUMMARY:The American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce
DESCRIPTION:From the Revolutionary Era to the present day\, quilts have served as both cherished heirlooms and silent witnesses to the evolution of American industry\, politics\, and global trade. The American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce explores how the materials\, dyes\, and techniques used in quiltmaking reflect centuries of economic shifts and technological innovation. Featuring over 40 quilts and coverlets from Bowers Museum’s permanent collection\, as well as loans from the family of famed quilter Jean Ray Laury and others\, this exhibition traces the journey of fibers like cotton\, silk\, wool\, rayon\, and polyester through two and a half centuries of American quilting. \nVisitors will encounter quilts that speak to the mass-production of domestically printed cotton fabric in the 19th century\, as well as to the ingenuity of makers during times of scarcity\, such as Depression-era scrap quilts and wartime cotton regulations. Highlights include a rare 1776 whole-cloth wool quilt\, an early Bethlehem Star quilt with chintz appliqué\, a quilt made of handkerchiefs commemorating the American centennial in 1876\, and a 1975 pictorial quilt celebrating scenes of California life. \nThrough these textiles\, period ephemera\, and multimedia interactives\, The American Quilt invites reflection on the intimate relationship between cloth and community\, and how trade policies shape the availability and aesthetics of everyday materials. Whether hand-stitched by anonymous or known makers\, each quilt offers a tactile record of American life\, labor\, and legacy. \nExhibit Credit:  \nThe American Quilt: Cloth and Commerce is organized by Bowers Museum and curated by Tara Miller. The exhibition is supported by Flying Geese Quilters Guild and Repiecers – Southern California Study Group
