Museum Monday - Craft Contemporary

I snuck out for a solo art date at Craft Contemporary in the Mid-Wilshire area in early December 2025 to view the exhibit “Material Curiosity by Design: Evelyn & Jerome Ackerman” which I highly recommend. The exhibit runs through May 20, 2026.

Museum Monday - Diane Von Furstenberg - Women Before Fashion at Skirball

There was a fun fashion exhibit outing with a new friend. I suggested we visit the Skirball Cultural Center as I hadn’t been for awhile and I had on my list to see Diane Von Furstenberg - Women Before Fashion. It was a winning suggestion when my friend let me know that she was very much into fashion.
