The Brewery Art Walk: Hundreds of  artists opening their studios so you can see their work, meet them, drink beer and wine, and buy their art. It’s a huge party where art takes the center stage and it’s been going on for almost 30  years. This is the place that started it all as an artists colony in Downtown and is the original Art Walk–and the world’s largest arts complex.. It’s gritty, funky, full of life, and yes they have a cafe restaurant on site.

With over 100 participating resident artists, you will have the opportunity to see new works, discover new favorites, speak with the artists and purchase artwork directly from the artists’ studios.

Located northeast of downtown Los Angeles, off the 5 Freeway’s Main Street exit, the Brewery sits 18 acres packed with creative energy, artistic dreams, and a little piece of historic LA. The Brewery Arts Complex was an operating brewery from 1897 through 1979. Its second life as an arts complex began in 1982 with the passing of the Artist-In- Residence code, a Los Angeles housing code that gave artists the right to rent live/work space in industrially zoned buildings. Within a few years, an Art Walk was organized, and is now held twice annually.
