Wine with the Artist: Olinda Silvano at the Fowler

On Friday, November 6, the Fowler Museum at UCLA hosts Wine with the Artist, an evening built around the unveiling of Kené: Lines of Healing, Paths of Connection. The guest of honor is Olinda Silvano, who appears alongside members of the Shipibo-Konibo community. Admission is free, which makes it an easy pick among the things happening in Los Angeles this week.

When: Friday, November 6, 2026, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Where: The Fowler Museum at UCLA, 308 Charles E Young Drive North, Los Angeles, CA 90024 Price: Free, with a ticket reservation on Eventbrite

What to expect

The Eventbrite listing describes the night as a celebration of the unveiling of Kené: Lines of Healing, Paths of Connection. The title points to the line-based designs at the heart of the work, and the evening puts the artist and community members in the same room as the people who come to see it. Expect a social, conversational setting rather than a formal lecture, with the wine in the event name meant as a relaxed way to mingle.

The organizers haven't published a detailed schedule, so plan to arrive near the 6:00 PM start and take your time. If you like seeing an exhibition with the people behind it nearby, this is a good chance to ask questions and hear the work described in the artists' own words.

Why the Fowler

The Fowler Museum focuses on global arts and cultures, with particular attention to Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. That makes it a natural home for a program built around Shipibo-Konibo artistry. If you're building a list of LA events this weekend, a free museum evening on the UCLA campus is one of the more unusual options, and it sits well alongside a Friday dinner in Westwood.

Getting there

The museum is on the UCLA campus in Westwood. UCLA parking is paid and campus lots can fill early on weeknights, so check the museum's visitor page for the current parking guidance before you go. Rideshare drop-off near Charles E Young Drive North is the simplest option, and Westwood Village is a short ride away if you want to eat before or after.
