Have you voted yet? If not, a bunch of LA museums have opened their doors just for this occasion. Here’s all the info you need.For those who have lost loved ones this year, the Social Public Art Resource Center in Venice is inviting you to take part in a virtual, communal altar on Día de Los Muertos. It seems like a special event. Because we could all stand to clear our minds, why not take a ride across Los Angeles through the eyes of Ed Ruscha? The Getty put together a pretty brilliant website that collects Ruscha’s 6,500 photos of Sunset Boulevard and allows you to “drive” down the major thoroughfare between 1965 and 2007.– Elisa Wouk Almino, Senior Editor
