It's time for the bi-annual Brewery Art Walk...
Acknowledged as the world's largest live-work art colony with 170 private studios which are opened to the public for the art walk. "In addition to painters, sculptors, performance artists and other fine artists, The Brewery has resident many specialty artists: designers of furniture, art glass, costumes and clothing, theatrical and movie sets, web sites and computer games, vehicles, greeting cards, and even high-fashion eye glasses. There are over 50 professional photographers. Other specialties include architecture, cinematography, musicians, composers, and many others...The Brewery, a 22-building complex on 23 acres, comprises a variety of structures, some dating back to 1888. It includes a combination of the former Eastside and Pabst Blue Ribbon Breweries, from which the community derives its name, and one of Los Angeles' first power plants, Edison Power Station #3. It is located in an area rich with historic and cultural significance, near Olvera Street, Chinatown, and Little Tokyo, in the heart of downtown Los Angeles." -Don Levy
One of my favorites was the performance at the Church of Arts where the 75 year old LA hating Llyn Foulkes performs original tunes on an instrument that Foulkes built over years. Amazing...follow this link to view a performance:
