On Thursday, September 8th, the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk will be celebrating its 12-year anniversary. Beginning with only three galleries in what is now commonly known as 'Gallery Row', the Downtown Art Walk, and DTLA as whole, has evolved in ways that many would have found unbelievable less than a decade ago.
Burgeoning into a community with over thirty five galleries, multiple retail stores, and a world class restaurant and bar scene, Downtown LA has not only become a hub for creative innovation, but for diversity as well. Being as September is both our birthday and Diversity month at Art Walk, we would therefore like to take this time to celebrate LA's beautifully diverse creative community and acknowledge the impact that various group have had in the development of DTLA. This anniversary is not only about thanking those who have supported us over the last 12 years, but about reaffirming the Art Walk's commitment to inclusivity by promoting artists from widely varied backgrounds and career levels.
To celebrate the unequivocal role that the galleries have played in transforming our community, the Downtown Art Walk would like to invite everyone to a very special retrospective show featuring photographs and memorabilia documenting the evolution of Art Walk from its humble beginnings, to what it is today! Taking place at our Lounge from 6 to 10PM, this unique, one night exhibition is not to be missed!
And last but not least, we welcome a special activation in the Edison Room, brought to you by Paramount Pictures:
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael and Donatello…with names like these, it’s no surprise that these turtles LOVE art! The turtles are back, and this time they’ve got something special to show their fans! Check out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exhibit at the Art Walk Lounge, and celebrate the Digital HD release of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’.
Participating galleries for this month's Downtown Art Walk event include: BertaArt Studio Gallery, Little Tokyo Art Complex, Skid Row History Museum and Archive, Please Do Not Enter, Fathom Gallery, Spring Arts Collective, DAC Gallery, REN Gallery, Howard Griffin Gallery, Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts, The Fine Arts Building (Los Angeles), and The Hive Gallery and Studios.
