Art all weekend long from Fullerton to Culver City to the entire expanse of Washington boulevard and Beyond Eden with a little ghostbusting thrown in for good measure.

• The Barnsdall Art Park in Los Feliz goes Beyond Eden for a two day art fair celebrating the latest movement in contemporary art in Los Angeles. Fifteen LA area galleries will be represented along with live painting, screenprinting, performance art and food trucks galore. Other highlights include the documentary film on southern California artists Scribble.08 and Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho’s photo series Heroes and Villains, intimate portraits of emerging and established figures in the Pop Surrealist, Graffiti and Alt-Comic Book worlds including LA based artists Todd Schorr, Dave Kinsey, Gary Baseman, Seonna Hong, Saelee Oh, Mark Ryden, Robert Williams, Tim Biskup, Mr. Cartoon, COOP, Shepard Fairey, Kozyndan, Souther Salazar, Shag and many more.

• Homeboy Ito not only strolls into town from New York to catch all three Thom Yorke shows, but he also “presents images from his time traveling the world as Damon Dash’s personal photographer and a collection of personal work captured during the Summer of 2009″ in his photo show titled EVERYBODY SOMEDAY at the PÄS Gallery in Fullerton.

• Concert poster master/vinyl toy creator Frank Kozik unveils a show shrouded in mystery at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City. Who knows what to expect but I have a feeling it involves these two mutants:

• The Scion Space in Culver City goes to Infinity with a “group exhibition of artists whose practices or aesthetics relate to the many facets of the infinite.” Featuring Richard Colman, Andrew Schoultz, Aaron Noble and many more.

• Spend A Day in LA as over 60 artists Los Angeles artists and non-artists show off their work in unused public outdoor spaces along the entire length of Washington Boulevard’s 27 miles, from Whittier to Venice Beach. “For one day artists will perform works, create installations, facilitate happenings, and make music in unexpected spaces, such as on the sidewalk, between dumpsters, along railroad tracks, as well as inside the audience’s cars as they traverse one of LA’s most iconic boulevards.”

• In conjunction with the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, end your weekend donating canned food for LA’s hungry while busting some ghosts at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for the 25th anniversary screening of Ivan Reitman’s 1984 classic Ghostbusters.
