On the second Thursday of every month, downtown LA’s museums, art galleries, and nonprofit arts venues all throw open their doors and invite the public to visit for free. The Downtown Art Walk is tonight – and it’s fun.
The area around Fourth and Main streets, once an abandoned zone next to Skid Row, is now part of a lively Gallery Row, a bundle of showrooms, shops, and sidewalk cafés. Metropolis books is part of the scene, too. Revelers of all ages and backgrounds turn out for the Art Walk.
Need another reason to go? The Hippodrome bus (pictured above) makes its debut run tonight, offering a free shuttle (from 6-10 pm) that stops at various venues. Esotouric founders Kim Cooper and Richard Schave will be onboard, hosting a “floating salon” and sharing interesting tidbits for savoring downtown and its history. Be sure to ask Kim and Richard to point you to the Edison.
P.S. Here’s a map.
