A 25-foot inflatable psychedelic bear driving a convertible has been commissioned for the pedestal outside of the Hammer Museum as part of Made in L.A.

The event will feature exclusive conversations with key guests — including a panel on psychedelic films with Salon staff culture critics — and a plethora of live music sets.
