Discover Los Angeles launched its ‘Everyone is Welcome’ initiative in key international markets. ‘Paper Planes,’ created by Discover L.A.’s in-house creative team, is an inspirational journey that takes viewers through the streets and shores of Los Angeles. Set to the soundtrack of L.A.-local Father John Misty’s song, “Real Love Baby,” it features cameos of famed street art by Shepard Fairey and DourOne; Madonna’s choreographer Megan Lawson and dancer, Jo’Artis Ratti (Big Mijo); and, Layla Shaikely, creator of the #mipsterz (Muslim hipsters) trend. Half of the cast for the video were literally chosen on the streets of L.A., in real-time. The spot delivers an authentic message of hope, wonder and the destination’s willingness to accept everyone with open arms.

The Los Angeles art scene is in full bloom this spring as widely anticipated museums are expected to open throughout the city. From an immersive exhibit centered around the hero’s journey to an expansive contemporary art museum by Guess co-founders Paul and Maurice Marciano, the City of Angels will be home to some of the most exciting artistic experiences of the season. Discover Los Angeles announced a selection of highly anticipated openings and launches this spring including The 14th Factory, Museum of Ice Cream, The Marciano Art Foundation, and more.
