The 2013 Venice Art Walk & Auctions features exclusive studio and architecture tours, silent art auction and community celebration at Google Los Angeles (located in Venice), bike tours, gallery show and special exhibitions, live entertainment, fabulous fare and more—all set against the backdrop of beautiful Venice, California. Artists open their studios, architects open their homes, and over 300 artists donate their work to ensure that neighbors in need have access to health care. With incredible home and studio tours, a taste-bud tingling food fare, and the largest silent art auction in the area, Venice Art Walk & Auctions raises over $600,000 annually.

This year marks the 34th anniversary of the Venice Art Walk & Auctions, benefiting Venice Family Clinic, a community health system that provides quality care to 24,000 low-income, uninsured, and homeless families and individuals on the Westside of Los Angeles.
