Featuring Ideas for Los Angeles

This Idea Box exhibit is a multimedia experience showcasing concepts, ideas, and musings from around the world on the future of Los Angeles, a future beyond just cars. Opening on July 29, the exhibit will run through the month of August in the Jewel Box at City National Plaza (525 S. Flower Street).

Opening Event

On Thursday, July 29, the exhibition LA Beyond Cars will open with a special event from 6:00pm-10:00pm and you are welcome to attend.
