DTLA LIFE MAG #4 | APRIL 2014 | Page 28

This is not your average Artwalk! Nowhere else can you find the largest art community with the most innovative, experimental, contemporary artists at work. ! This April at the Brewery Artwalk, The Brewery Artwalk Association is pleased to feature the largest contingent of pioneering artists in the Los Angeles area. Resident artists have been experimenting with 3D printing, Immersive 3D environments, LED light sculpture, high tech and high class furniture design, contemporary fashion and environmental design, new media, com- puter and digital art, performance art as well as painting, photography, ceramics, sculpture, glass works, printmaking and street art. ! ! Located northeast of downtown Los Angeles, off the 5 Freeway’s Main Street exit, sits 16 acres packed with creative energy, artistic dreams, and a little piece of historic LA. The Brewery Arts Complex was an operating brewery from 1897 through 1979. Its second life as an arts complex began in 1982 with the passing of the Artist-In- Residence code, a Los Angeles housing code that gave artists the right to rent live/work space in industrially zoned buildings. ! Housed in the industrial buildings of the complex is a uniquely vibrant and creative community. The artists (there are around 500) residing and working at The Brewery have opened their studio/homes to the public every year and most recently twice a year, for 32 years. The Brewery Artwalk is the largest original Artwalk in the world. ! The Brewery Artwalk is FREE and open to the public! Whether you are an art collector, connoisseur, curator, want to buy unique fine art gifts, learn about the history of the community or discover how art, science and technology are linked; come enjoy an exciting FREE afternoon in the heart of LA’s art scene…  Come to the Brewery Artwalk! ! ! ! This spring you can look forward to many new artists, food trucks, a beer garden hosted by our very own Barbara’s restaurant, an Instagram scavenger hunt and a peaceful engaging environment. This is THE go-to art event of Los Angeles. Enjoy your visit to the Brewery www.breweryartwalk.com
