EXPERIENCE:

Discover the murals, street art, and graffiti of the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District on a guided walking tour. Explore the area with a local street artist and learn about the history, culture, and art of the district.

Meet your guide, a real artist and longtime member of the Arts District Community. Living and creating art in the area for decades, each one is an expert on the history, culture, art, and artists that made the Arts District an important part of the Los Angeles creative community for decades.

Start with a wealth of information about urban art history and technique, as you view works from local masters and globally recognized talents. See over 100 individual works of art, from building-sized murals to amazing hidden treasures that you would never find without a knowledgeable expert leading the way.

Your guides are all local street artists, taking you through their world, their own art, and the art of their crewmates, collaborators, friends (and even rivals.) Learn a bit of technique, a bit of history, all while viewing a wealth of amazing art…from the tiniest art tags and yarn bombs to building-sized murals by the world’s best artists.

In addition to the amazing art, visit other iconic spots such as ArtShare, The Container Yard, Arts District Co-op, The American Hotel, Joel Bloom’s Spot, and the former site of Al’s Bar. The tour ends back where it started, giving you a chance to browse the Arts District Co-Op or head to one of the many dining options in the area.
