BEVERLY GROVE—For the last few weeks, rotating retail storefront Liberty Concept Space (8366 1/2 W 3rd Street) has been showing off cool sunnies by Long Beach's Nothing and Company as well as select wares curated by brand. This weekend is your last chance to grab goods like caps from Port, vinyl courtesy of Origami, and apparel from RYTTT, in addition to the latest styles from the local eyewear line. Saturday night the space will host a "Get the Hell Out" closing party and photo show curated by Cultist Zine. Additionally, expect free booze and good tunes during the 6-10pm fiesta.

DTLA—If you're not already following actor/dance enthusiast Adam Carpenters on Instagram, then you're seriously missing out. That said, ain't nothing like the real thing, which you can catch this Sunday when he appears for a tutorial and dance party in celebration of illustrator Jack Sjogren's birthday party at Ground Control (598 S Broadway), the creative, community "summer camp" space run by LA leather accessories brand This Is Ground. The free event takes place at 8pm, with Carpenters' 30-minute lesson at 8:30pm, followed by the party where you can try out your newly acquired moves.

PLAYA VISTA—Want to get your fingerprint on one of the city's largest civic arts exhibitions? Get your chance this weekend when public art project organization Portraits of Hope holds their annual 24-Hour Paint-A-Thon at their westside studio (12901 W Jefferson Bouevard). From 9am Saturday to the same time Sunday morning, help hand-paint the massive spheres which will be used to fill MacArthur Park Lake for the large-scale project later this summer. Participating is of no cost but willing artists must sign up for a commitment of at least one, but no more than 10 hours. Email poh@portraitsofhope.org with the number of painters you plan to bring, what time you'll be there, and your approximate length of work time.
