Bloomfest LA 2010
On August 14th the TRUE Downtown Arts District will open the doors of cafés, galleries, performance venues, and 40 studios (and counting) in the second happening of a new Open Studio Tour series. This series will coincide with the annual street fair known as Bloomfest which will feature 15 live bands, vendor booths and food trucks.
Artists, designers, architects, writers, and performers new and old have continued to make extensive and impressive work in the area. The summer event in part acts as a cultural reminder that the post-industrial downtown never stopped producing. The district also hosts internationally well-known graffiti walls that draw many visitors on a daily basis.
The self-guided tour will include lofts (821 Traction Ave; the Toy Factory and more), private galleries as Tarryn & Theresa Gallery and ADC Gallery and many of the areas well-known restaurants as Metropol, Zip Fusion, e3rd and Wurstkuche. Bordered by Alameda on the west, the Los Angeles River on the east, Temple on the North and 7th Street on the South, the parameters are contiguous enough that a he shuttles will make rounds on the quarter-hour.
The tours will coincide with Bloomfest which will be held at Bloom Square from noon to midnight for free. For vendor booth info and participation in the tour please e-mail bloomfestla@gmail.com or bloomfestla.com Sponsoring support from DTLAX Magazine, YELP and isgoodmusic.com
