- Venice Art Crawl: Historic Venice Canals— Venice — Venice Art Crawl’s summer event in the Venice Canals makes this big city feel small, with dozens of artists showing work in the front patios of many homes. The compact area makes it easy to wander one of the most hidden and picturesque areas in L.A., and neighbors always open their doors to share art, drinks, conversation, and music.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
