We’re Going Downtown (ARTWALK)

Los Angeles is full of all things creative. In fact, my first office/loft was at the Brewery . The Brewery is a one of the nation’s largest art colonies, which in 1902 originally was an Edison power plant that later turned into the Pabst Brewery Company. Twice a year, artists open their lofts at the Brewery artwalk. However, it seems that Angelinos can’t get enough of the culture, so about 4 years ago, downtown LA unofficially started the “downtown artwalk,” which occurs once a month. Spring street has never looked so alive at night!

There’s a big difference between from Brewery, Culver City and Bergamot stations artwalks. Downtown has a mixed group of people showing whatever, whenever. I guess Halloween came early.

The cool thing about this monthly gig is that it’s at night and on the streets of LA. It’s basically a house party full of good stuff. Dublab had a screen printing thing going on.
