Fútbol: The Beautiful Game — LACMA

No you’re not dreaming. This is really an art show about fútbol. Get yourself even more excited about the Brazil World Cup by checking out fútbol-related works from artists like Oscar Murillo, Miguel Calderon, Carolyn Castaño, Kehinde Wiley, Andy Warhol and more. There’s gonna be everything from video to sculpture to photography – the arty-est homage you’ll ever see to this beloved sport. The show is up until July 20 so you’ve got plenty of time to visit before the World Cup.

Jaime Zacarias aka GERMS — La Luz de Jesus Gallery

We really dig the work of South LA artist Jaime Zacarias, also known as GERMS, and if you missed his previous shows now’s a good chance to see his work. Expect luchador masks with Surrealism and Dia de Los Muertos twists — the scenes feel like complicated nightmares that are somehow still fun and colorful. Head to La Luz de Jesus Gallery on February 7 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. for the opening party.
