ArtCycle boldly ventures

where the Downtown Art Walk
fears to tread

 

East Hollywood puts the Art, the Cyclists, the Food Trucks, and the entertainment where they belong, on the streets of Los Angeles. 

 

On Saturday, September 17, ArtCycle's vision for bringing public space to life takes over Santa Monica Boulevard, from Vermont Avenue to Virgil Avenue, opening the street to people and closing it to motor vehicles, creating a temporary open-air gallery that features artists and artisans creating arts and crafts, bike tours of local galleries and architecture, live music on two stages, opportunities to create and activities for all ages.
