Bridge Closures and a Film

Avoid traffic stemming from the Mulholland construction work, and enjoy a musical movie at the Skirball Cultural Center.

1. The Skirball Cultural Center hosts a screening of Can't Stop the Music, a film loosely based on the story of the iconic 1970s band The Village People. The movie stars Bruce Jenner and Steve Guttenberg. The screening begins at 1:30 p.m. at the Skirball Center at 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd.

2. The Skirball Cultural Center is taking registrations for its Introduction to Precious Metal Clay summer course. Offered in partnership with Otis College of Art and Design, the course will teach students how to make a pair of earrings and a pendant with precious metal clay, which consists of five silver particles suspended in an organic binder. The binder makes the silver malleable as clay. The course takes place Sunday, July 24 from 9 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. Cost is $99 for non-credit. To register for this course, contact Otis College of Art and Design at 310-665-6950.
