Local residents are invited to a walking tour of the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District on Saturday, May 11.
Sherry Plotkin of the Woman’s Club of South Pasadena is offering a walking tour of the murals, street art and graffiti art of the DTLA Arts District.
The Arts District has been the home of artists in Los Angeles for decades, and has long been a nexus for the resident artists living in funky art lofts and the myriad of graffiti and street artists who come to paint and create on the walls and alleys of the district.
The guides will be local street artists, taking visitors through their world, their own art and the art of their crewmates, collaborators, friends (and even rivals).
Visitors will learn a bit of technique and a bit of history, all while viewing a wealth of amazing art from the tiniest art tags and yarn bombs to building-size murals. This tour is limited to 10 guests. Please RSVP to Plotkin to secure a spot: sherryplotkin@yahoo.com.
