Venice Beach: Art Walk



Venice Beach, California. The doors are open. Hip onlookers check out eclectic sculptures and paintings while chatting with the artists in their private studios.

This Saturday and Sunday, May 22-23, you’ll get a chance to meander down Venice walkways and visit over 50 art studios located in modern lofts, small cottages and cutting-edge spaces during the Venice Beach Art Walk event. 

Tickets are $50 for a self-guided walking tour or you can opt to take an organized “Art & Architecture Tour” for $100-$150. To purchase tickets online and for more information, visit: http://venicefamilyclinic.wordpress.com/.

After a few hours of art perusing, the hunger is sure to set in. Stroll over to Abbot Kinney Boulevard – a hangout for the Beat generation in the 50’s and 60s – where you’ll see an overflow of the creative crowd. 

To hang with the Euro-chic, sip a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and munch on Mediterranean-style tapas, then go to Primitivo, located at 1025 Abbot Kinney Blvd. 310-396-5353.
