The Spring Art Walk in the Brewery downtown is upon us once again. This weekend is a time for touring this downtown neighborhood & not simply looking at the art in the quiet calm of a gallery, but looking at art in the artist's actual lofts. Cool, no? more ›

New York City has won the honor for America’s Top Arts Destinations in AmericanStyle Magazine for the past three years. This year, let's change that. Vote Los Angeles because... 1. Musicals really aren't that great anyway. Small 20-seat theatres rock. 2. Barnsdall Art Park. 3. We don't destroy our murals. Wait, shit, that's us. 4. Festivals, festivals, festivals. 5. Green Umbrella Series. 6. Public Art everywhere. 7. Street Art. 8. Otis, Art Center, CalArts.... more ›

The NoHo Theatre & Arts Festival is the largest and longest running festival of its kind here in LA, and features two jam packed days worth of free theatre, music, and art. This year the event's geography has sprawled out from Chandler to Camarillo on Lankershim, and onto several east/west streets between, particularly Magnolia, which will be closed to traffic, as will many of the neighborhood's streets. Because parking will be at a prime, your best bet is the Metro Red Line to the end of the line. There's always decent fair eats (sno cones, bar-be-que, funnel cakes, oh my!), great vendors, open doors at most of the area's shops, restaurants, galleries, and theatres, tons of arts and crafts and activities for wee ones to do, and, best of all, awesome people watching. We've experienced the festival from several angles, including spectator and participant, and we can't help but be a part of it annually, as we happen to call home the very same blocks the festivities take over. So by all means, come by and say hello. The fair runs Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. more ›
