For the first time ever, the city of Beverly Hills, in partnership with the city’s Arts and Culture Commission, will offer free art walk guided tours led by experienced docents from Thursday, Feb. 17, to Sunday, Feb. 20, daily at 2 p.m. beginning at the Lily Pond in Beverly Gardens Park, 1302 Park Way.
Art lovers can learn about Beverly Hills’ historic public art collection of nearly 100 pieces as they explore world-class sculptures from Ai Weiwei, Ringo Starr, Tom Friedman, Jaume Plensa, Tony Smith, Alfred Jacquemart, Barry Flanagan, Roxy Paine and Magdalena Abakanowicz.
“We are thrilled to work with our arts and culture commission in offering an event that is free and accessible to the community as a way to showcase and celebrate art and artmaking during Frieze Week in Beverly Hills,” said Jenny Rogers, director of the city’s Community Services Department. “With so many significant pieces in the city’s fine art collection, we felt this was a great way to highlight and feature our world class public art.”
While the event is free, registration is required at beverlyhills.org/artwalk.
