It’s becoming common in the art world to think of Los Angeles as one of the most important emerging centers of art production, mainly due to the large numbers of artists living and working here.

More recently, the emergence of a large and high quality gallery and museum scene have catapulted Los Angeles into the top tier of world cities. The staggering number of cultural events to be found on any given day in Los Angeles is amazing, and certainly more than any one person could possibly manage.

Los Angeles is one of those places where you can focus your energy in one direction, whether it be music, art, or film, and have more than enough to keep you busy at all times.

A group called “For Your Art” has organized the first annual Los Angeles Art Weekend, a four day celebration of regular and special events throughout greater LA. Our own Downtown Art Walk is one of the offerings on the first night.
