december downtown art walk

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — This month’s Downtown Art Walk is tonight, and is definitely worth checking out. Last month I got around to 5 or 6 galleries, and I’m planning to hit up a few more tonight.

To me the coolest thing looking at that map is to see the amazing concentration of galleries opening up just north of me. Look at what 5th street is becoming right there. And from what I hear, there’s still another place or two to come. A few months ago all those storefronts were dead, now they’re springing back to life.

I especially want to see the new exhibition at 626 Gallery, directly across the street from me. Their first show was really good, even for me, Mr. “I don’t understand art.”
