A journey into the heart of Venice

The
event is offered free to the public, providing a fascinating glimpse into
established studios and emerging artist’s spaces tucked away throughout the
neighborhood giving visitors imaginative opportunities to join in public art
activities and other creative events. Centered in the Oakwood neighborhood and Abbott Kinney Boulevard and spreading to
other locations, ARTBLOCK calls attention to the vitality and importance of the
arts in Venice and the diverse art district that is undergoing rapid change.
In
their sixth event with an estimated 70 venues and many more artists, Venice

for the Arts Activation Fund, created by Mayor Eric Garcetti, to support
creative community-benefit projects in Los Angeles.
The

sense of place and community as they guide themselves along the route on the
streets and alleys of Venice. Winding
through murals, street art, live art and chalk mandalas, there is something for
art lovers of all ages, including critically acclaimed exhibitions and the work
of noted contemporary artists.
A wide range of cultural and
civic organizations endorses the group, including Venice Community Housing
Corporation, The Venice Arts Council, The Office of City Councilman Mike Bonin,
The Venice Neighborhood Council, The Social and Public Art Resource Center, The
Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles and The City of Los Angeles Department of
