If you’re looking for something fun and different to start off your fall, the Brewery Artwalk is holding its Fall Artwalk on Oct. 21 and Oct. 22, featuring two days of open studios on Main Street in Lincoln Heights, just east of the LA River.

A venerable institution, the Brewery Artwalk has been welcoming the public for over 40 years to this twice-yearly event. It is a truly 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.

You’ll find nearly every discipline represented here and the pleasure of meeting the artist in their studio is a wonderful way to fall in love with original art. Start your collection with a connection to the person who made it, and you will have a story to go with the artwork that adds layers of meaning to the experience and the memories of your visit.

This event is for everyone – from families to first time buyers, collectors to curators, experienced art denizens to young kids experiencing the artworld for the first time.

Get a jump on your holiday shopping, start your art collection or add to it with new work by visiting the Brewery Artwalk. It’s a free event and sure to be a great day of exploring and seeing!

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 and Sunday, Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
