ART WALK NEWS ART WALK NEWS ART WALK NEWS!!!

It’s hard to say exactly how old print advertising actually is, but despite any threat of digital media, the prowess of print advertising has survived as the number one way to brand your name and reach potential customers. Today, as it was hundreds of years ago, grocery stores and newsstands still carry thousands of newsprint publications world-wide. ART WALK NEWS offers both digital media and newsprint, allowing it to keep its nostalgic effect, give your eyes a break from the screen and offer a souvenir for ART lovers to take home.

As commissioned artists, event planners, photographers and journalists, publishing a newsprint publication and offering incentives to ART WALK visitors to BUY ART is a great way to support the arts, document the events and help our advertisers reach their demographic.

ART WALK NEWS IS WORLD WIDE. With 30,000 new readers a year from all over the world and twice recognized by the City of Los Angeles, ART WALK NEWS has become a trusted source for news and entertainment.

ART WALK NEWS has been publishing an informative guide for ART WALK attendees, complete with comprehensive gallery maps, special event information, dining suggestions, product discounts, interesting stories, comics, puzzles, photojournalism, contests and eye-catching graphics since 2009.

Please join us in our endeavors so we may spread this publication to more events in Southern California.

PHOTOGRAPHY OSCAR BROWN SCRIBE ART ART HUNTER GREG GOULD ROBERT PAUL JENNIFER KORSEN BENJI NG EVENTS JAMES PETERSON FASHION HENRY DUARTE MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA JOSHUA SWODECK ART HUNTER SALES GEORGE MARTIN OSCAR BROWN KERI FREEMAN #ARTWALKNEWS “The last 10 years has brought upon a rash of self-guided ART WALK events now taking place in almost every city across the nation. Taking the stuffy sales staff and “hushed” gallery experience and turning it into more of a festive atmosphere, ART WALKS expose thousands of people to new experiences in an artistic wave of creative influence.”

LA MAGAZINE – JULY 2014 “Downtown’s Art Walk turns the streets into an artistic carnival. Here on Gallery Row -- bounded by Main and Spring streets from 2nd to 9th streets -- the scene is as eclectic as the people it has attracted: haircuts being given on sidewalks; saxophone melodies wafting through the smoggy air; a retrofitted 1940s school bus shuttling attendees to off-site galleries. Inspired by the scene, artists let the environment dictate the imagery as they paint on makeshift canvases taped to chain-link fences.”

LA TIMES - FEBRUARY 2009 “Pomona may be a king among men–when it comes to art walk. With smiling faces, crowds that make the air sticky and food trucks that will make your mouth water, Pomona is where it’s at.”

why we have love for artwalks

CREATION: Everyone in the world

is on a quest to experience the most from the universe and all things in it. Each day we embark on a perpetual path to collect those experiences in hopes that we can eventually lend them to our long list of life fulfilling moments.

What will you watch and comprehend today? What will you eat? What music will you listen to? Who will you touch? Will you discover something new? And what will be the end all be all?

A discovery of Self: ART WALK is Sight, Sound, Taste and Excitement.

ART: the conscious use of the imagination in the production of objects intended to be contemplated or appreciated while at the same instance being totally subjective in a person’s mind rather than the external world.

What ever you want it to be - voila it is, and pretty much means, anything goes, but also, that it’s not to be rushed or easily forgotten.

WALK: to go on foot

Gallery exhibits, fashion shows, live music, local eateries, and mobile popups create individual artistic-interactive vis-

itor hubs, turning the entire region into one festive party which purifies the spirit of the neighborhood and lends to the stimulation of the local economy.

So many different people from all ethnic backgrounds, young and old have no trouble bonding with the energy of the night and over all feeling of being united under aesthetics.

For artists, the night proves just as profitable as collectors are everywhere during an Art Walk. While some may be well versed in the arts, its likely the Art Walk will help mold plenty of future collectors as well.

Independent artists at art parks and pop

ups may sell art for less than hundreds of dollars while galleries with well represented artists, who are supported by their collectors, may go skies the limit.

Collectors may be the for pleasure or exercise; type that collect a particduring an ART WALK ular style such as photogis like taking a stroll on raphy or abstract, or just the Avenue of Creative attached to a particular Expression, mixing and artist.

These are night-air explorers. the types of thought provoking pieces you can purchase at Art Walks.

Dozens of participating businesses

keep a rotation of artists, creative installations, and product specials ready in conjunction with the night, either working together or independently to create a memorable experience for thousands of purposely-timed ART WALK visitors.

At Art Walk, the artists and art institutions are ultimately given highlights as art stays the main focus of the night’s festivities. Art Walk is an exploration into the 5 senses; sight, touch, taste, feel, smell and sound.

Bottom line__ its good for the soul.

He proposes, “We are more and more frequently in transit between two places, between two properties. Between these two well-defined contexts there is the crossing, the transit – these non-places, these interchangeable spaces where the human remains anonymous as Marc Augé defines it.” FMI: castaniergallery.com.

LA FEMME DEFONCER

RETURNS TO DTLA It’s been eight years since La Femme Defoncer graced the galleries and nightclubs of Downtown LA, and now she’s BACK! La Femme Defoncer which loosely means, the femine freak out is an amazing talent showcase set in a bizarre side show setting.

The show debuted in 2007 at M.J. Higgins Gallery, followed by two shows the following year at Zero One and Club 740. All three locations have been lost to time, however on March 12th, La Femme Defoncer AWAKENING becomes the last stop on ART CRAWL’s DTLA Art Walk PRIVATE TOUR. Show starts at 8pm.

La Femme Defoncer is hosted by Ebano’s Crossing on the corner of 2nd and Hill.

CONGRATULATIONS

ON YOUR RE-ELECTION COUNCILMAN JOSE HUIZAR!!!

Did you know~Los Angeles has over 2 thousand murals on it’s walls, and more than half of those are in Downtown LA? - by Trevor David A city’s murals depict the past, present, and future of that city. Transcribed via the artist’s paintbrush or aerosol can, found in schoolyards, on department store walls, on the freeway underpass, apartment buildings-some encompassing thousands of square feet. Murals are giant colorful movie stills telling the story of their environment one scene at a time.

Every mural you see is a living and breathing testimony to the struggles, victories, trials and tribulations of the people who call that city home. But murals go beyond locality. Universal truths are splashed on the walls of parks and buildings in every city in the nation, but none more than in Los Angeles.

Councilmember Jose Huizar is speaking...

He reps Boyle Heights and carries District 14 on his back. When talking about art, he’s relaxed with pep, reminiscing about his days as a kid in Boyle Heights and his fascination with murals.

“I love murals. I think they beautify the community, educate us, give us history lessons...I grew up in Boyle Heights, East LA, and murals were all around me as a kid...I remember being taught about

my heritage by these murals, and not being taught these same things in school...”

30 YEAR OLD iconic mural of the late actor Anthony Quinn

BY Eloy Torrez on 3rd and Broadway is getting a makeover.

The city has secured $150,000 for the restoration project.

Back in 2013, Huizar authored an ordinance aptly called The Mural Ordinance, which erased a long-held ban on murals being painted on private property. This move evidenced Huizar’s support for, and love of art.

MUSE:WHEN CREATIVITY STRIKES...this month: THAT SPECIAL MOMENT

SCOTT REYES

My name is Scott Reyes and I am an urban explorer and photographer from Downtown Los Angeles.

I’ve been urban exploring for quite some time, shooting for about 2 years and I’m self taught. I shoot mostly urban landscapes from vertiginous vantage points from often dangerous or unauthorized locations. I’ve been hosted in a few art shows, most recently at The Regent Theater, as well a small write up in Los Angeles Magazine.

My inspiration comes from just living here and seeing how quickly Los Angeles is changing, especially the Downtown area. I’m also somewhat of an LA history geek and I spend a lot of time brushing up on it’s history. What I truly love is getting to see photographs of Downtown during the 20s and 30s.

It inspired me to document what I see nowadays so people years from now can get an idea of what it looked like here.

“To be honest, it’s more of a hobby for me, something I do to decompress. Some people like yoga, I like exploring the unseen nooks of Los Angeles.” - SCOTT REYES

7000PLUS Instagram Followers Makes Reyes an“Insta” SOCIAL MEDIA Icon

Ive been to the Chase Tower on Wilshire twice: once for a sunrise the day after Christmas and another at night. When I took a few POV shots from the top of the Chase Tower people flipped out. It’s a 40-story building so when people saw the photos of me standing and sitting off the edge with my camera pointing down it really churned their stomachs.

The time I went at night was even more memorable, though. I went up with 3 other photographers and we were seen by security. He started at one of the photographers and threatened to call the cops.

I saw an open opportunity to run for the door. My friend and I left the other 2 photographers out there and ran for our freedom. We felt really bad for ditching them but we had to look out for ourselves too. 3 hours went by and we figured the other guys got arrested, but then we got a phone call from one of them. Turns out when we ran for the door the security guard ran after us allowing the other 2 guys to get away.

The best part about it is - we all got our shots!

Born and raised in Hong Kong.

that makes more sense than just the appearance of familiarity. So the end product is where this whole mental process of deconstructed reality turned into a physical form of journalism or even a proposal of alternatives to that matter under scrutiny.

Art, and beauty, had always peaked my interests since a very young age. When I was a kid , while enrolled in art classes, some of the pieces I made were exhibited in a musuem in Guangzhou, and some other pieces at the Cultural and Art Center in Hong Kong.

I am graduating from USC with a BA Double Major in Communication and Arts.

I was like, “Hey, maybe I can do this.”

The Solar eclipse urges you stay calm and confident especially when it comes to spending for your projects. Let the money flow in and out like the grapes of wrath and soon your barrels will be full of a spiritually potent blend of faith and extra doe.

Pisces

Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22

Feb 19 - Mar 20

Historically this month, Mercury combines with Neptune on March 18th to help you with patience and wisdom. Be conservative as like an Old Fashioned (1880s) made by muddling sugar with bitters inside of whiskey, brandy, or gin, and served with a twist of citrus rind.

Stand firm and steady on your beliefs and you will find you’re as solid as an ice block. But be advised, when making vital decisions if you hesitate too much the decisions will end up being made for you and if you act too fast you may actually cause a ripple effect in the universe – and you don’t want that.

Aries

March 21-April 19 Mars and Uranus in Aries is hot. Like the Mars and Uranus in Aries is hot. Like the Monkey Gland, a classic drink from the 1920s you can make out of gin, fresh orange juice, splash of Absinthe and a little pomegranate grenadine, you’ll be more than ready for the fast track. The drink’s name was inspired by the experiments of surgeon Serge Voronoff who performed in an arena on primates while testing his “male enhancement” concoctions.

No one knows just what hijinks you’ll get into but don’t be surprised if your project takes off with a great stride, and ends up in a lucky streak.

Taurus

Apr 20 - May 20 Don’t do anything less than outrageous when having fun with friends this month dear Taurus. With Venus entering Taurus midmonth you’ll want to enjoy group projects that allow you to travel…Treat yourself to plenty of Margaritas,

in Baja California.”

During Prohibition people made their way South across the border for the popular alcoholicbeverage consisting of tequila, triple sec, lime or lemon juice, served with salt on the rim of the glass. The drink is served shaken with ice or without ice (straight up) and made it a lot easier to watch the bull fights.

Sagittarius

Gemini May 21 - June 20

A century ago, World War I brought us a cocktail of champagne, cognac, and lemon.

The “French 75”, American slang for a 75-mm field gun used to support French Air Troupes like Lt. Raoul Lufbery, who allegedly spiked his bubbly with cognac for extra oomph. War is hell....and Gemini Moon and Mercury go to battle on March 25th encouraging people to become emotionally charged about everything. Only new exciting projects this month help boost your energy and keep you level headed long enough to take advantages of opportunities for new projects this month.

Beer is one of the oldest and most loved alcoholic beverages humans have ever created dating back 9500 years BC to the sandgasmic lands Egypt and Iran. The process of draining the fermented molt off of wheat and barley coupled with yeast may have been the savior of all man-kind. And how did beer and man survive so long? Because beer is so important to our survival that humans refused to die before they recorded the beer making process, on walls, tablets, scrolls, silks, and even tree stumps...and then there was Football. Like beer, dear Virgo your projects have the potential to become honored, immortalized and recreated by many admirers all over the world.

Take advantage of March’s Full Moon as it opens the flood gates for admiration offering you a chance to form deeper bonds with your most favorite collectors.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

Cancer

June 21-July 2 You’re just one chapter away from a whole new life dear Cancer. Embrace the change, you’ve been reading the same book for far too long. Style, grace and class. Instead of a Kamikaze try a more Cosmopolitan (19031933) approach to life. The New Moon and Solar Eclipse is sure to show you a brighter world once you let your shaken and strained mix of Gin, Cointreau, lemon juice and homemade raspberry Syrup, get topped off with a lemon twist. There may even be a chance for romance toward the end of the month. If you’re interested in someone, don’t be afraid to make your move just try your best to be more subtle.

Leo

Jul 23 - Aug 22 The altered consciousness produced by wine has been considered religious since its origins in China circa 7000-6600 BC,

Oct 23 - Nov 21 “Sex on the Beach!? Well this is Cali…and there are laws…

But no matter what the warmer weather will encourage you to tote less and show more of your – bodies of work. You can let go of your inhibitions with Mercury in Pisces this month toning your ability to read people and situations.

You’re like a frisky glass of peach schnapps, vodka, gin, rum, and triple sec finished off with a blast of Blue Curacao, first mixed on a beach in Florida (1987) only later, left empty, in the sand as the sun comes up. I know, you don’t remember, but still, with your personality and willingness it will be easy to find more intimate collectors whenever you’re ready to show off your exhibition again.

Nov 22-Dec 21 Jägermeister is a German digestif made by Mast-Jägermeister (1935). It’s made with 56 herbs and spices at a strength of US 70 proof so when you drop the spicy burn into a glass of beer you pretty much create ground zero, hence the name JagerBomb. This month dear Sag, be aware of projects that start off with a great deal of force which quickly evaporate your time and energy. They may become costly during the new moon and solar eclipse on March 20th. If you keep your cosmic antenna in tone you will avoid all dangers, and end the month lucky, and maybe win some money to shelter you from the blast.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

You may be too potent and misunderstood to relate with your collaborators with Saturn in retrograde mid-month, dear Cap. Like the Chinese liquor, Baijiu also known as shaojiu, translated as “white wine”, in fact a strong distilled spirit of sorghum, generally about 40–60% alcohol by volume – Be mindful of the people follow who your lead and tend to their direction until they reach the collaborative goals with you. Your way of thinking may lead others to swerving off the main road.

Aquarius

Hmmm...your lucky stars suggest your drink is water this month dear Libra. That’s not to say you cant enjoy alcoholic beverages.

The cosmos is just suggesting that you drink plenty of water before or after those beverages. The Full Moon on March 5, may make it harder for you keep your mind, body and spirit pure. Be good to yourself and try not to over indulge...There’s nothing wrong with pacing yourself and everybody loves the designated driver.

Jan 20 - Feb 18 Pop the cork! Dear Aquarius, like Champagne, developed by the Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon (1638–1715) who’s goals were to produce a pale and bubble less version of wine, your projects may start off similar to the projects those around you but they wont stay that way. Yours will quickly develop into something of its own, allowing you to burst some bubbles. The New Moon on March 20th keeps you close to those who you have most in common with, but still you will rise to the top and you won’t end up drained and left hurting after the project is done.
