This version will feature 14 visual arts gallery spaces with new artwork each month, and special events including live performances, food and drink tastings, and/or special promotions. The air may be getting colder, but the indoor art and entertainment with Artwalk LA will stay warm throughout the year.

Featured Venue: She Doesn’t Like Guthrie’s
During the October Artwalk, stop by She Doesn’t Like Guthrie’s to view found object artist Terry Grasse’s work, and head back after the event for some live music beginning at 8 p.m. Guthrie’s will be featuring the talents of two artists: John Elliot and Terry Grasse. Elliot, who hails from the “other L/A”, is a singer/songwriter and producer. According to the San Diego Troubadour, Elliot’s songs are “well-crafted, concise, and very catchy” and his voice has a “stylistic melancholy tone and charisma.” He has been featured on television shows (Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill); Neil Young’s “Living with War” website; radio stations across the country; in cars, on iPods, and around the campfire. Grasse is a found-object sculptor from Brunswick, ME. He works with recycled and found materials to make masks of characters, ranging anywhere from forest creatures to futuristic creations.
