In 2016, when we opened 10 years ago in Downtown Los Angeles, we marked the occasion with Isa Genzken’s towering Rose III in the courtyard. Now, 10 years, over 90 exhibitions, and 2 million visitors later, the exhibition ‘Destiny Is a Rose: The Eileen Harris Norton Collection’ centers California collector Harris Norton, who might be seen as a constant gardener herself: she has built something both beautiful and enduring.

Join us on Saturday 30 May from 11 am – 4 pm to celebrate what we have grown together with a party of offerings, a testament to our garden being fully in bloom:
