The Hammer Museum hosted Arts Party: Transcend, an event featuring performances, art-making workshops, exhibitions, food and more. The annual event allowed college students to roam the museum, enjoy sets from DJ Starrza and watch a performance from Orion Sun. The Hammer Student Association collaborated with UCLA’s Campus Events Commission to “transcend,” the theme of this year’s event. They aimed to create a space for students to express themselves.
