One good cheatsheet deserves another. That’s what I always say!
Because we just published our rundown of free summer concerts (you’ll want to bookmark that one), I’ve certainly had music top of mind. And on that note, I wanted to begin this post with a few quick (and free) ideas where you can combine art and sound in the month to come. More simply, let’s answer the question, which museums are putting on free concerts in July? Some ideas:
advertisements
- The Hammer is hosting KCRW Summer Nights parties every Thursday in July.
- LACMA hosts free jazz concerts every Friday at Smidt Welcome Plaza beginning at 6 p.m.
- The Torrance Art museum is throwing a 21+ house party with DJ sets and craft beer on July 9.
- LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes continues a Summer of Salsa with a performance by Conjunto AFRO-SON on July 14.
- KCRW Summer Nights come to The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and the Japanese American National Museum on July 15 for a night of tunes that includes free after-hours access to both museums.
- Sunset Concerts at Skirball begin July 20 and continue every Thursday through August 24
- The Getty hosts their next edition of Off the 405 (RSVP required) on July 22 with a performance by Etran de L’Aïr.
Per usual, make sure to review all your freebie options for the coming month by perusing our big list of free museum days here (The Getty, The Broad, etc..). Otherwise, scope out the July calendar of free dates below. And, as always, enjoy!
