Venice

A former professional triathlete who lives near Venice Beach has offered a detailed breakdown of the planned triathlon course for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, calling the layout "opportunistic." The analysis is drawing attention from triathlon fans and locals curious about how the course will use iconic beachfront terrain and what it could mean for racing tactics in 2028.

The Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington is presenting 'A Real Love Thing', an exhibition by artist Jeffrey Gibson. Gibson, a Mississippi-based artist of Choctaw and Cherokee descent known for vivid works blending Indigenous traditions with contemporary art, won top honours at the Venice Biennale in 2024. The show brings his signature beadwork, textiles and text-based pieces to the university's public arts space.
