Those looking for something fun and different to kick off fall are invited to the Brewery Artwalk. Its Fall Artwalk & Open Studios takes place on Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 featuring two days of open studios on Main Street in Lincoln Heights, just east of the LA River.

A venerable institution, the Brewery Artwalk is in its 41st year of welcoming the public to this twice-yearly event. It is a unique opportunity to explore the campus – a fascinating collection 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 whom will be opening their studios during the weekend.

Visitors will find nearly every discipline represented. The pleasure of meeting the artist in their studio is a wonderful way to fall in love with original art. Start a collection with an introduction to the person who made the art – adding a story to go with the artwork that adds layers of meaning to the experience and memories of the visit.

This event is for everyone! Families to first time buyers, collectors

to curators, experienced art denizens to young kids experiencing the art world for the first time can get a jump on starting their art collection, or add to it with new work, by visiting the Brewery Artwalk. It’s a free event and is 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. 25 and Oct. 26 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
