Two weeks ago I went to the Gallery Row located in Downtown Los Angeles between Main and Spring Streets from 2nd to 9th Streets. The art-walk is dope like heroin, it's an art aficionado's wet dream come true. It's basically, a public self-guided tour that showcases 42 art galleries, museums, and non-profit art venues, every 2nd Thursday of the month from 12:00 p.m to 9:00p.m. The Gallery Row was founded in 2003 and has always showcased a special artist each month.
This month they showcased two internationally known and locally respected Los Angeles Graffiti Artists. "Kofie One", who designed murals for Barack Obama's presidential campaign and "Mear One", he's a living legend. His art can be seen anywhere from the concrete streets, magazines, art galleries, etc.
I really like the environment at the Gallery Row, there's music and plenty of food. There's even a free shuttle service from 6-10 p.m called the "Party Bus". Some of the art pieces are inspirational and some are mind blowing. Keep in mind that the photographs don't do justice for these works of art. The next art walk is on November 13th, hopefully I can see some of you there....

I didn't even know there was such a place until you presented your poster in class. It's pretty cool that they put out food and everything.
The Art Walk is excellent. Its diversity separates it from most other art venues. Did you happen to visit "lacda" (Los Angeles Center for Digital Art? http://www.lacda.com One of my pieces sold in the "New and Improved" exhibit last June.
