What to Do in LA: Visit the Art Gallery Curated by Street Artist MegZany at Four Seasons Westlake Village

Last week I had the immense pleasure to attend the opening night of Love Is An Art, the new collection curated by MegZany for the art gallery at Four Seasons Westlake Village. I'm so beyond happy I got to be there!

MegZany has been one of my favorite artists for years now — I always love seeing her pieces pop up around LA (if you've seen irreverent Strawberry Shortcakes, that's her!), and I even interviewed her on my blog a few years ago. (Click here to read it!) So when I saw that she curated this show, I simply had to go!

If you're a fan of street art and just art in general, do yourself a favor and drive out to Westlake Village to walk around this art gallery. Pieces from @punkmetender, @mrbrainwash, @colettemillerwings and more famed street artists hang alongside Alexander Calder, David Hockney, Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring, Marc Chagall and more.

All the pieces are for sale, and MegZany told me she'll bring in new works as these ones begin to sell. So you never quite know what you'll see when you pop in!

Additionally, MegZany worked with @illust.space to bring AI into the gallery. As you stroll through the space, you'll notice QR codes printed next to some of the items. When scanned, they pull up a fill-size AI of MegZany, talking about the work and the artist. To say this is cool is obvious! I tried it out and loved getting a completely new way to look at the art in front of me.

Plus, I got to meet MegZany! After loving her work and being inspired by her for so many years, this was such a treat.

If you're in Westlake Village, don't sleep on this art gallery! It's located on the second floor of the Four Seasons Westlake Village, located across from the spa. For more information, click here.
