L.A.’s hottest new art gallery? An abandoned hospital.
A new site-specific art pop-up called Hospital of Emotions has opened in the former St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles's Westlake neighborhood. The exhibition, which runs from May 27, 2026, transforms 80 hospital rooms into immersive installations by 70 local and international artists working across architecture, design, illustration, and street art. Visitors walk through a waiting room, receive an intake form and wristband, and explore themed floors organized around emotions like joy, sadness, anger, grief, fear, and hope. The property is slated to become part of the St. Vincent Behavioral Health Campus later this year.
