A Visual Spin Around the March Downtown Art Walk

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES —

With the ground floor of the Rowan used as a gallery and the north face wall turned into a film screen, this month’s Art Walk expanded Gallery Row’s active sidewalk life. Now in its third month, Comedy Walk attendance continued to grow.

Music, heard from the streets in several locations, helped create a sidewalk segue to guide gallery-goers between hotspots. Increasingly, those hot spots are spread out across the Art Walk and not just clustered at popular sites like 5th and Main.

After the jump, a visual tour through the March Downtown Art Walk.
