With things seemingly returning to normal, this summer sees the return of Summer Happenings at The Broad. After a three-year break, the LA art museum is brining back special exhibits and performers on select dates over the summer months. Primary headliners for this summer's events include Thundercat and Arooj Aftab with more to be announced.

The performances will take place while the exhibit This Is Not America's Flag is on display, from May 21 through September 25. Their website notes that the exhibit "spotlights the myriad ways artists explore the symbol of the flag of the United States of America, underscoring its vast, divergent, and complex meanings." The other notable exhibition taking place at the same time is Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow.
