![]() MLK Day activites around town include: the annual MLK Day of Service underlines the ideal of “a day on, and not a day off”. The California African American Museum has some terrific shows right now, as well asCelebration on Monday from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm with family activities in the morning and other programming all day. Here is a list of other local activities related to the holiday. Other worthy events this weekend are: The LA Art Show is running now through Sunday at LA LIVE with family friendly, interactive programming (look for Connect the Dots, Synaesthesia, The Infinity Boxes, and Brainstorming:Empahy by the UCLA Art and Science Center). The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles has an intriguing show about the art of Tattoo and this wekeend, you can see a live tatoo demonstration at the Tattoo Parlor (although appointments to actually get a tattoo are sold out – phew!). Green Diamonds are also on display through April. In the theaters you can still catch Pixar’s Coco, a wonderful animated film that is the capturing hearts of everyone in the family and won a Common Sense Seal. For date night, consider Ran, playing at the Aero Theater on Sunday evening (Akiro Kurosawa’s epic re-telling of “King Lear”) or listen to Willem DaFoe at a screening of The Florida Project at the Egyptian in Hollywood; this is one of our favorite films of last year.
