Downtown Art Walk
September 24, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA) – The Downtown Art Walk, a downtown Los Angeles institution since 2004, has grown to become the largest regularly occurring event in the center city. In its 6 years of operation it has achieved every one of its slated objectives; re-energizing Downtown Los Angeles, establishing a downtown art gallery district, and acting as a significant economic development tool for a multitude of other neighborhood serving businesses.
In recent years the Downtown Art Walk has grown so large that it has become too costly to manage in its current form. Effective immediately the Downtown Art Walk will go on hiatus, ceasing all event operations until January 2011, at which time it will be reborn as a quarterly, weekend, daytime, gallery-focused event which will appeal to both patrons of the arts as well as the general public.
Further information will be made available at the Downtown Art Walk website

The Art Walk got too commercial anywayl. The parking spot on Los Angeles between 3rd and 4th used to be dope. You could give 'Double O" (the hobo who lived there) a few beers and he would let you park for free. He'd even lend you his own pipe to smoke! Those were the days.
But the Spoke'n Art Ride more than makes up for this. You still get free galleries (which often have Free food AND alcohol) plus a bunch of 4:20 friendly spots and almost no cops. That's the way it should be.
