Los Angeles Confidential launched its Summer Arts Series by inviting an intimate group to cool off from the summer heat at the Japanese American National Museum. Guests were privy to a private after-hours tour of “Above the Fold: New Expressions in Origami” with the exhibit’s curator and Asian art specialist Meher McArthur. Midori cocktails and a tasting of Suntory Whiskey Toki followed in the museum’s outdoor garden, where guests learned how to fold their own origami like a pro.

The Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) Midsummer Fête art auction and cocktail party took place with the support of Los Angeles Confidential, Sauza 901 tequila, Midori, and Basil Hayden’s. The annual event gathered artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts at the A. Quincy Jones–designed home of Shulamit Nazarian in Holmby Hills. Notable attendees included Tina Perry of OWN, artists Amir H. Fallah and Jeremy Kost, gallerist/collector Kelsey Lee Offield, and CAA’s Thao Nguyen. Many of the works auctioned were created especially for LAND’s event, which benefited the contemporary public art nonprofit.
