Museum security and staff will chaperone the event as teens explore LACMA's latest exhibitions, Tim Burton at the new Resnick Pavillion. The Tim Burton exhibition features over 700 works by Burton including drawings, storyboards, puppets and costumes, plus hundreds of never before exhibited works.
Teens can dance to a live DJ under the stars in the company of topiaries inspired by Burton's Edward Scissorhands. Teens are encouraged to dress "burtonesque," wearing something that reminds them of their favorite Burton movie.
Admission is free, but teens should have some cash for the taco bar featuring $2 meat or veggie tacos.
This event is for middle and high school teens only; no college teens, no parents. Teens can be dropped off and picked up at the Urban Light installation on Wilshire Blvd (pic below). The event is from 8pm - 10pm, but early arrival is welcomed as the regular museum hours are 11am - 8pm on Saturday.

Folk art offers cultural insights not readily seen in other art forms since it is created with an awareness of, and a connection to tradition and community. The process of creating folk art is a varied and dynamic one that builds on traditional methods or ideas, but also includes individual creativity and contemporary influences. This artistic merger of social order and individual creativity offers incredible insight into global and local values and beliefs. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of folk art is how sublimely it reveals human similarities amongst diverse cultures
