Two Art Walks for the Price of One !

Okay, well, there is no price, I mean, the Art Walks are free but the planets have aligned and so this weekend you can get your choice of the Miracle Mile Art Walk or the Culver City Art Walk !

Miracle Mile Art Walk (noon - 8pm, afterparty @ El Rey)

ArtWalk 2009 is happening once again on the Miracle Mile. With the help of the Page Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum, Yelp, and the Miracle Mile ArtWalk, four museums will be offering free general admission, more than twenty galleries will be participating in a self-guided tour, and restaurants throughout the area will offer special discount and offers. Special appearances by a Kogi Truck, Bollywood Step Dance, Angel Lebron, and much more are shaping up this year's ArtWalk to be our best yet. Be sure to check out the schedule of events for more programming information. Oh, and after all that, we're throwing a can't-miss party at the El Rey Theater.

Wait, is Kogi, the official taco truck of Art Walks ? They were at the Santiago Art Walk last week and I know they hit the Downtown Art Walk :)


Culver City Art Walk (noon - 8 pm)

The Culver City Gallery District is home to scores of galleries, packed into a few square blocks along Washington Boulevard. La Cienega between Venice and Washington is thick with A-list, international operations like Kim Light, Honor Fraser, Walter Maciel, LAXART, Blum & Poe, George Billis, and Taylor de Cordoba, recently joined by the relocated Cherry & Martin. And, of course, Washington to the west offers Kinsey/DesForges, Corey Helford, Le Basse Projects, and dozens of other destinations. It may sound like a lot of places to hit in a day, but first-rate bars and restaurants dot the route to help break it up; of special note are art-world favorites Wilson (dinner), Mandrake (drinks), and Royal/T (dessert).

Both are on Saturday (5/23)
