ART WALK IS EVERY DAY
The Downtown Los Angeles “Art Walk” is a self-guided art experience of local galleries, artist studios, and cultural events that began as a once-monthly coordinated collaboration in 2004, along Spring and Main Streets in Downtown Los Angeles and evolved into a daily celebration of the colorful community of artists and culture in Los Angeles and beyond.
Due to community evolution, the “Art Walk” public art “event” found a more relevant way to support, encourage, and bring visibility to cultural and educational opportunities that enrich the vibrancy of Los Angeles and beyond.
