THE ARTS

Closing Shop: Hard-hit by a dramatic drop in attendance since the Los Angeles riots, the downtown Museum of Neon Art, a 10-year-old showcase of electric and kinetic fine artworks, will close its doors in late summer or early fall. However, the museum will resurface in November at MCA’s mammoth Citywalk development in Universal City, where it will offer a display of vintage neon signs and a museum store. The museum then plans to begin fund-raising for a new exhibition space either on the Westside or the Miracle Mile area near the Los Angeles County Museum.
