To Do In LA: Brewery Artwalk This Wekend
Reminder to all of you from the SoCal area, specifically Los Angeles, the Spring Brewery Artwalk is this weekend. Details can be found on this Web site.
What is it? There’s an industrial section of downtown that surrounds and old Brewery (that’s no longer in use) that’s been converted into artist lofts. It’s a huge complex of wherehouses and buildings and every Spring and Fall the people who live their open up their homes to the public to show off their art.
I’ve gone three or four years now and usually enjoy it. The art ranges from a few really great artists to a lot of really, “Wow, that’s really not so much of the good” artists. For me, the most fascinating aspects of the Artwalk is how people use their spaces. These are large rooms, for the most part, and people do some very interesting things with them, sectioning them off in creative ways. Amongst all the living quarters is a nice bar and a really good used book store, which I’ve bought a number of hard to find books from. If you want a relaxing time out this weekend, I highly recommend going. It’s just east of downtown and maybe 10 minutes away from Little Tokyo and Olvera St., so some sushi or mexican food after is definitely a must.
