Starting in 2022, LA River X has expanded its reach by jumping from screens to real life with a series of exhibitions and activations that explore and celebrate the environmental, cultural, and social stories of the world's most iconic concrete river. Reach out if you'd like to host an exhibition at your venue or event.
