Downtown Los Angeles

Unsure about the Los Angeles art scene? Then you'd better get yourself out to the Downtown Art Walk this Thursday to find out that the scene is not only surviving, it's thriving. Indeed, this monthly "promotion of positive public space" has become a can't miss for Angelinos, with thousands more showing up every month, unifying neighborhoods many assumed to be wholly disparate. All things considered, we're pretty sure there's not a better going-on in the city.
