Brewery Art Walk

Can you believe I just got my computer back today?! And the problem still isn't fixed... But at the moment, it seems to be working, so to celebrate, we have a new post!

This weekend, April 5-6, is the semi-annual Brewery Art Walk in downtown L.A. From 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday, the resident artists of the "world's largest art colony" will open their studios to the public. Admission is free and many will have works for sale.

The Brewery is a community comprised of 21 former warehouses, including two former breweries, that now house 300 studios and about 500 people. There is also a restaurant on the premises. I found a good article about the Brewery on the L.A. Times website.

It's been many years since I did the Art Walk myself, but I remember it being a lot of fun, as much for the opportunity to explore the complex as for the chance to see local artists' work. Here's a nice review with lots of photos from the Spring '06 Art Walk.
