It’s Hammer time, and it’s free too

IF you’re free this summer, so is the UCLA Hammer Museum.

From June 1 through Sept. 2, the Hammer will offer no-charge admission as part of its “Free Summer” program. And on Thursday evenings in July, the museum will also offer free music with the 8- to 10-p.m. event “Also I Like to Rock, the Indie 103.1 New Music Showcase,” a collaboration with 103.1-FM featuring “just under the radar” bands.

Free Summer also includes the Aug. 23 “Hammer Bash!,” a chance to catch the exhibition “Eden’s Edge: Fifteen LA Artists” before it ends Sept. 2, plus DJ and cash bar. (310) 443-7000 or www.hammer.ucla.edu.
