This Weekend: Brewery Art Walk
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — 
This weekend the Brewery has its Fall Art Walk just on the north side of Downtown. Their directions page gives you the play by play on how to get there from pretty much every corner of LA except Downtown, which is a bit odd given that they are quite removed from the Downtown core.
In any case, the Art Walk features over 100 artists, and runs 11am - 6pm both Saturday and Sunday.
One of the artists participating is Jennifer Cunningham, who was commissioned by Park Fifth to paint the pictured watercolor of their upcoming project. I hadn't heard of Jennifer before I got an email about the painting from Park Fifth, but back in April she got a grant from the Downtown Artist Project to do paintings of five historic Broadway Theatres. For those without the budget for real art, Jennifer also sells notecards of her watercolors -- a box of 8 cards will run you $16.

There are no directions from Downtown LA because, as I heard on the Brewery ArtWalk radio ad, the Brewery is still claiming to be IN Downtown LA, despite the fact that it is in Lincoln Heights.

Oh my gosh. Jennifer Cunningham. Ten years ago she was a housewife and mother with small children living in a craftsman bungalow West Adams. She talked about how she used to paint and wanted to get back to it someday. Flash foward 10 years...the kids are up and running and Jennifer is a commissioned artist. Wow.

the brewery is technically part of Chinatown. Lincoln Heights starts when you're past the 5 fwy. If you live downtown & don't know where "The Brewery" or Main Street is, then perhaps you just moved there? Just sayin'.

I always think of the river as the north edge of Downtown, not the 5. I think the bottom line is that borders like that are pretty fuzzy.
