Known as the seminal public art event in Inglewood, this year’s art walk promises to be bigger than ever. During its three-year hiatus, IOS acquired nonprofit status, enabling the organization a chance to do more for the community they serve.
Visitors of the art walk will be able to enjoy visual art created in all types of media drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed-media, photography, printmaking, installation, video and performance. This year’s event will feature the most participating artists in the 14 year history of IOS! The art walk will lead guests through an exploratory excursion through the city, with suggested stopping points at participating artist studios, art galleries, arts organizations and many other creative spaces throughout Inglewood. Flyers and maps will be available at every tour location.
New to the event this year, IOS is pleased to announce an impressive program of video and digital art at the city’s iconic Miracle Theater. The program includes a screening by groundbreaking Inglewood video/performance artist Ulysses Jenkins who mounted his first major retrospective exhibition, “Without Your Interpretation,” at the Hammer Museum earlier this year.
