The monthly event will take place from 6–10 p.m. to celebrate the Venice artist community and spirit. More than 20 businesses will participate, including Hotel Erwin, James Beach, The Canal Club and Danny’s Deli. Each venue will house a different artist and offer discounts on food and drinks.
Venice Beach has a long history as one of the LA's most creative and historic areas. In the 1950’s, Venice became a center for the Beat generation, leading to an explosion of poetry and art with world-renowned participants including Ed Moses, Robert Graham, Saul White and Larry Bell.
The artistic force continues today. Recently, numerous local artists voiced frustration with the lack of exhibition spaces in Venice, especially on the Venice Boardwalk, a traditional area where artists have shown their art.
The goal of the Venice Art Crawl is to provide artists with an avenue to showcase their work and the Venice art scene.
The Art Crawl will take place between North Venice Boulevard and along the Boardwalk, Speedway and Pacific, ending at Westminster Avenue. The center of the Art Crawl will be on the historic Windward Avenue, home of the “Venice” sign and Windward circle, considered the heart of historic Venice.
