Since 1996, both locals and cruise-ship tourists from the nearby Port of Los Angeles have flocked to the area to experience San Pedro’s tight-knit artists’ community, impromptu street performances and conversation-worthy art — all classic ingredients for a great art walk. The tour’s 30-odd participating galleries include contemporary and textile art.
The art season in Laguna Beach flourishes year round with First Thursdays Art Walk. This educational monthly art event, held on the first Thursday of every month from 6 – 9pm, celebrates the diverse cultural art scene of Laguna Beach and is free to the public. First Thursdays Art Walk is a membership based organization. It is funded by member galleries, local art institutions, lodging establishments, and the City of Laguna Beach.
Local merchants on or near Abbot Kinney, the thoroughfare that runs diagonally through Venice, come together every month to feature the best artists, gifts, products and music in the area. Local charities benefit as art junkies, couples and families descend on the always funky beach community. And, of course, beverages are available.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) offers free admission on the second Tuesday of every month and select federal holidays, always 18 and under plus one adult with NexGen membership.
