For those looking for something fun and different to do, the Brewery Artwalk is holding its fall Artwalk on Oct. 5 and Oct. 6 with two days of open studios on Main Street in Lincoln Heights, just east of the LA River. This free event is for everyone, from families to first time buyers, collectors to curators, experienced art denizens to young kids experiencing the art world for the first time.

A venerable institution, the Brewery Artwalk is in its 41^st year of welcoming the public to this twice-yearly event. It is a unique opportunity to explore the campus – a fascinating jumble of former industrial buildings that were once home to East Side Tap Brewery, and later Pabst Blue Ribbon, now home to hundreds of artists and creatives, many of who will be opening their studios during the weekend.

Visitors will find nearly every discipline represented and the pleasure of meeting the artists in their studio. Start collecting art with a connection to the person who made it, and collectors will have a story to go with the artwork that adds meaning to the experience … and memories of the visit.

 There will be a beer garden in the middle of the complex with a menu of easy to eat on-the-go food, plus an array of food trucks on Avenue 21. Free parking is available at the UPS facility on Moulton Avenue.

Open Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 621 S. Avenue 21, LA 90031. Message line: (323) 638-9382. www.breweryartwalk.com
