Trick-Or-Treat?!

Join us for a nocturnal Halloween celebration in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, one of the most creative neighborhoods of Los Angeles, where we will go door to door visiting artists and creatives, in a historic 1890 furniture warehouse–one of the first adaptive re-use conversions into artist lofts.

The experience will begin at Founder of Cartwheel Art Tours and publisher of Cartwheel Art Magazine, Cindy Schwarzstein’s loft, where we’ll view her private collection of Haitian and Outsider art, while learning more about her background in collecting art and the art industry.

Next, we’ll roam the building, knocking on the doors of her neighbors including photographers, painters, a wood craftswoman, and a set designer. Tally Floyd, Kurt Jordan, Matthew Roharik, Jessica Stewart, and Nicholas Bonamy, are just a few of the creative individuals you’ll meet on this tour.
