​Spend a vibrant Saturday afternoon with Women of Culture exploring **[Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind](https://www.thebroad.org/art/special-exhibitions/yoko-ono-music-mind?utm_source=luma)** at The Broad — an immersive journey through the ideas, imagination, and boundary-pushing work of one of the most influential artists of our time. **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/9fq2h46k)** ​We’ll kick things off with an **optional brunch at [Massilia](https://www.massilia.com/?utm_source=luma)**, where you can meet and mingle with fellow art lovers, before heading to The Broad for an intimate **private guided tour** of the exhibition. ​Spanning more than seven decades of **[Yoko Ono’s](https://www.thebroad.org/art/special-exhibitions/yoko-ono-music-mind?utm_source=luma)** practice, *Music of the Mind* invites us to experience art differently — not simply by looking, but through participation, imagination, humor, and reflection. Together, we’ll uncover the stories and ideas behind the work and experience this landmark exhibition in a more meaningful way. ​And there’s more: our museum experience will also include entrance to **Yayoi Kusama’s iconic Infinity Mirrored Room** — a dazzling finale to our art-filled afternoon! ​Come for the art, stay for the conversation and connection, and leave with a fresh perspective on an artist who has spent decades asking us to imagine the world differently. ​**Space on our private tour is limited — reserve your spot and join us for an unforgettable afternoon at The Broad!** ​**Why Join Us?** * ​🎨 **Go beyond simply seeing the exhibition** with a private guide who will bring greater context and insight to Yoko Ono’s groundbreaking work. * ​✨ **Experience two must-see moments at The Broad** with the Yoko Ono exhibition plus entrance to Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room. * ​🥂 **Make new connections through art** with a welcoming community of culturally curious women — and the option to start the afternoon together over brunch. *** ​**Full schedule:** ​**12pm** \| Optional Brunch at **[Massilia](https://www.massilia.com/?utm_source=luma)** 100 S.

Photography Exhibition, Book Launch & Creative Evening

Join us on September 2 from 6–10 PM in Glendale for a photography exhibition, book launch, wine, light bites, and an evening of creativity and connection. Explore 50 photographs across four collections: sunsets, ocean, black and white, and travel, and celebrate the launch of my first book, “I Found My Ikigai. It’s Photography. What’s Yours?”. The book combines photography with short reflections on fear, confidence, change, and finding the courage to begin. There will also be a Letter to Your Future Self corner and space to connect with local creatives and new people. Whether you’re a photographer, writer, artist, or simply looking for inspiration and community, you’re welcome here. Admission is free. Please RSVP so we can prepare enough wine, bites, and space for everyone. See you on September 2!
