The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles will host ‘Lunchtime Art Talk: On Carlos Almaraz’ on Wednesday, August 19, at 12:30 p.m. The programme will focus on the artist Carlos Almaraz and will be led by Hallie Scott, the museum’s associate director of Academic Programs.
The talk is listed as an in-person event at the Hammer Museum, located at 10899 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. The museum’s admission is free, according to its website, which also lists galleries open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the museum is closed on Mondays.
The announcement provides few further details about the content or format of Scott’s presentation. It does not identify a specific body of Almaraz’s work to be discussed, nor does it list additional speakers, a moderator, ticketing requirements or a separate start-to-finish duration. The museum’s event listing linked in the announcement currently returns a 404 page, so those details could not be independently confirmed from the linked page.
Almaraz is presented in the announcement as the subject of a dedicated museum talk rather than as part of a larger exhibition announcement. The Hammer’s current public programming includes academic and educational events alongside exhibitions, collection displays and other programmes. Its website describes a collection of more than 50,000 objects, including prints, photographs and paintings, although the supplied event material does not indicate whether works by Almaraz are currently on view or held in the collection.
The talk appears in a Hammer Museum newsletter alongside unrelated listings for screenings, music, meditation, exhibition tours and community programmes. Those listings include activities connected with the exhibition ‘Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials’, but the newsletter does not state that the Almaraz talk is part of that exhibition or its closing-weekend programming.
‘Lunchtime Art Talk: On Carlos Almaraz’ is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. at the Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles.
