Joni expresses her career-defining fearlessness and conviction on canvas with NEWS, a powerful series of 23 paintings created by the artist between 2001 and 2026. These will be on display in a Pop-Up Exhibition on Oct 29 and 30 at L.A. Louver in Venice.

Honoring decades of friendship with Mitchell and her uncompromising artistic ethos, L.A. Louver is pleased to host NEWS as a pop-up exhibition, which will be on view to the public on Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30, from 10 am – 6 pm.

This presentation coincides with the anticipated release of Mitchell's forthcoming book NEWS, a publication conceived, executed, and designed entirely by the artist herself. NEWS will be released on November 3, 2026, and will be available for early, exclusive purchase at L.A. Louver during the pop-up exhibition. More information here

“In the current climate, I felt a need to express my concern. It is an artist’s duty to speak up.”

Painting has been a constant practice for Joni throughout her life, guided by a visual language that has always been distinctly her own. Over an iconoclastic career, she has always followed her own instincts over anyone’s expectations. “NEWS” brings this practice to the fore in a forthright response to the world as she sees it today.

Across 23 compelling new paintings, Mitchell turns her eye to our 24-hour news cycles with slogans, song lyrics, and uncompromising imagery. Her sharp wit skewers power and politics; her voice articulates protest and resistance. A powerful expression of her undimmed creative independence and vision, “NEWS” is a testament to the enduring power of art.

Lauren and The Good Souls came together initially, in tribute to the amazingly talented Joni Mitchell 10 years ago, right here at Lovin' Cup. Every band member is a multi-instrumentalist, making their ability to cover Joni’s expansive repertoire a reality. If you know Mitchell’s music, you know the complexity, beauty, depth and evolution of her songwriting. From the intimate acoustic moments, horn section swells, tight harmonies and orchestral arrangements, this 9 piece band can cover it all. The band’s love and admiration for Joni’s music, and for each other, will captivate and engage the audience, making this show truly something special. The featured musical guest of the evening is Sue Tierney, Ithaca native since 1986, and founder/contributor to jonimitchell.com guitar and piano transcriptions. Sue was involved with the Ithaca Community School of Music and Art’s annual Joni Mitchell Tribute concerts from 2009 to 2019. To more fully encompass Joni’s creative prowess, Terese Manfredi will be creating live art on canvas while the band performs Joni’s hits and deep cuts. More information here
