Conceived at Glendale's Brand Library & Art Center, Hyper SoCal connects participating cultural venues through an interactive map designed to help visitors explore the region's arts scene. This fall's programming ranges from public art installations and contemporary exhibitions to interdisciplinary programs at municipal and nonprofit galleries.

"Hyper SoCal captures the collaborative energy that makes Southern California a epicenter for creativity," said Director of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture Lessa Pelayo-Lozada. "By showcasing these spaces, we are lowering barriers and connecting diverse communities directly with the artists shaping our region's culture."

"This fall is all about the thrill of discovery," added GLAC Exhibition Coordinator and Hyper SoCal Founder Stephanie Sherwood. "We want people to be on the lookout for art in completely unexpected contexts, whether it's experiencing a public art installation at LAX or discovering a hidden gem of a gallery downtown."
