Oops, didn't realized the Miracle Mile Art Walk is a monthly event but it is Saturday afternoon :

Miracle Mile Art Walk and After party
This afternoon, head to Mid-City between 1-6 this afternoon to enjoy the monthly Miracle Mile Art Walk. Each month sees a different host gallery--this time it's ACME Galley (at #20 6150 Wilshire Blvd.), and each month showcases a selection of area galleries; April spotlights the Wilshire area venues near LACMA. An artist lecture and opening reception will be held at 2 p.m. at ACME. A special tour of additional galleries is available following the opening reception at the host gallery. There will be an introduction to each gallery and exhibit. Transportation will be provided by the Holly Trolley. Art walkers may also walk or drive. An after party for art walkers will be held at Busby's Cantina (5364 Wilshire Blvd.) with music and art from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
