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.
The Downtown Art Walk is a free, self-guided tour of the many art exhibition venues in Downtown Los Angeles - commercial art galleries, museums, and non-profit arts venues. It takes place on the 2nd Thursday of every month. Public information and a printable pdf map of the Downtown Art Walk is available here.
The Downtown Art Walk began in September 2004 and has grown enormously since, with many thousands of people attending every month. Participants in the Downtown Art Walk are the more than 40 galleries and museums located throughout the central downtown area, within the walkable districts between the Grand Avenue / Disney Hall / MOCA, Little Tokyo, the Financial District, and centered around Gallery Row on Main and Spring Streets in the Historic Core. Most venues are open at least 12-9PM, but some may open later than 12PM or close earlier than 9PM; specific exceptions are listed next to each venue on the map.
