Kickstart Your Summer with Creativity at the Brewery Artwalk: Explore Open Studios on October 5th & 6th

BREWERY ARTWALK If you’re looking for something fun and different to start off your summer, the Brewery Artwalk is holding its Fall Artwalk on October 5th and 6th, with two days of open studios on Main Street in Lincoln Heights, just east of the LA River.

You’ll find nearly every discipline represented here, and the pleasure of meeting the artist in their studio is a wonderful way to fall in love with original art. Start your collection with a connection to the person who made it, and you will have a story to go with the artwork that adds layers of meaning to the experience and your memories of your visit. This event is for everyone! From families to first time buyers, collectors to curators, experienced art denizens to young kids experiencing the artworld for the first time.

A venerable institution, the Brewery Artwalk is in its 42nd year of welcoming the public to this twice-yearly event. It is a truly unique opportunity to explore the campus. The Brewery Art Colony began in 1903 as the Edison Electric Steam Power Plant. The building was designed by John Parkinson, who also designed the Bullocks Wilshire Building, Union station, and was one of several architects responsible for City Hall. The building is sometimes called The Bingo building (it used to say BINGO on the smokestack. The “B” was kept and used to begin the word “Brewery.” The plant was the first to use the new, efficient steam turbine technology and was the third plant in Los Angeles and by far the most modern at that time. The Brewery Art Colony is so called because it includes the old Eastside and Pabst Blue Ribbon breweries – now home to hundreds of artists and creatives, many of whom will be opening their studios during the weekend.

Get a jump on starting your art collection, or add to it with new work, by visiting the Brewery Artwalk. It’s a free event, and is sure to be a great day of exploring and seeing!

There will be a beer garden in the middle of the complex with a menu of easy to eat on-the-go food, plus an array of food trucks on Avenue 21. Free parking is available at the UPS facility on Moulton Avenue. Open Saturday and Sunday, October 5th & 6th, from 11am to 6pm.
