Drink, Paint, Create @ Barrel Down DTLA
Ever wanted to create something wonderful but had a drink in your hand and couldn’t? Well, for $40 you can try to do both at the same time. Hosted by the Barrel Down in DTLA, Drink, Paint, Create supplies with you brushes and paint, while an artist leads you through a painting stroke by stroke. Unlike your drink, you can take your masterpiece home with you at the end of the night. You may not be the next Van Gogh, but beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.

Tuesday 4.05- Film
“The Maltese Falcon” @ LACMA
Every Tuesday afternoon, LACMA screens classic films in Bing Theater. This week’s showing is “The Maltese Falcon,” a 1941 crime-drama starring Humphrey Bogart as a private detective investigating a string of murders connected to a priceless bird statuette. “The Maltese Falcon” not only solidified Bogart’s legacy as a deity of Hollywood’s Golden Age, it birthed a cinematic phenomena, film noir, by introducing romantic antiheroes and sexually-driven themes through a smokescreen of a post-war America. Buy tickets on-site at LACMA’s ticket offices.
