Saturday: Party like it's 2005 at the Monday Nights gallery opening!

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since we began hosting the best of cutting-edge music and performance every Monday? After nearly a year of concentrated work, we’re excited to bring you MONDAY NIGHTS: L.A.’s Scene of the Century, 2005-2016 photo retrospective and exhibit.

Read the full press release

4-8pm this Saturday, August 2, 2025, you can re-live the excitement of Monday Nights at Leiminspace (443 Lei Min Way, in Chinatown, DTLA) as part of our exhibit grand opening party.

Expect: tons of friends you haven’t seen for awhile, 200+ images, “Find Your Face” an interactive exhibit dedicated to Monday showgoers, L.A.’s largest friendship bracelet, refreshments, DJ Kyle Mabson, love, laughter, tears, and Karen Centerfold?!??! Entry is free. The event and visual content are family safe.

For purchase there will be a brand new, limited edition 120-page photo catalog that traces the history of Monday Nights and Monday people. We will also have some unique t-shirts—a first for Monday Nights!

Real talk about Chinatown parking

There’s almost no free street parking in Chinatown unless you get lucky.

We recommend rideshare, or Metro (Chinatown Station is directly across from the gallery). Parking one stop north or south of Chinatown and hopping on the train will save you untold trauma.

IF YOU MUST DRIVE, CONSIDER A PAY LOT. This is a special occasion. Most lots are only $5–$10. *Except for the lot behind the gallery, which is $40. Avoid!
