Spacesuits and caveman costumes will mingle with giant helium balloons, an \u201cAuntie Altar,\u201d marching bands and a 1959 Cadillac on Saturday, as 1,400 painters, performers, dancers, students and artists make their way down Wilshire Boulevard for the Art Parade, a grand opening weekend event organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and gallerist Jeffrey Deitch.<\/p>\n

Participants will walk down Museum Row, under David Geffen Galleries, past \u201cUrban Light,\u201d and loop around Fairfax Avenue. Nearly a mile of Wilshire will close for the event.<\/p>\n

Some will carry large-scale banners inspired by Shepard Fairey\u2019s Obey campaign and emblazoned with sociopolitical messages; others will hoist a disco ball shaped like the new museum. Performance artist Amy Kaps plans to literally wrap herself in the U.S. Constitution. Meanwhile, 99 performers led by artist Gary Baseman and dressed as black cats will create a purring \u201csound bath\u201d as they stroll down the street.<\/p>\n
