Since the unveiling of its posh new street-level plaza, LACMA has been more dedicated to throwing outdoor parties than usual. Tonight's Muse event packs the joint with music and performances centering around the institution's current blockbuster show, Los Angelenos/Chicano Painters of L.A.: Selections from the Cheech Marin Collection. Homegrown rockers Quetzal play indie folk en español and there's live painting from Unification Theory to keep you engaged outside by the bar and buffet, but take some time to duck inside during the late-night gallery hours and see the serious side of your favorite fake stoner. Marin's collection is major, and includes prime examples of Chicano folk art and numerous contemporary masterpieces.
