Yes,
its another art walk that happens downtown….but its NOT the Downtown Art Walk that takes place every 2nd Thursday…This one occurs every 2nd Saturday night in a different part of downtown LA…in the Highland Park area.

The event takes place from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm.
Here’s a cool one….
The Navarro Residence presents an exclusive exhibition, “GUITARS, ROLLER SKATES AND PUGNACIOUS CRITTERS” the illustrative works of L.A. artist (actor, author and father), Brady Smith.
See im
age: Brady Smith ‘Theme Park Freak Show’, 2011 Mixed media on canvas
This will be Brady’s first solo exhibition at The Navarro Residence. Curator/collector, Navarro, owns several original works by Smith, and finds the quirkiness and whimsical imagery his art offers a great addition to her large personal collection, and felt others who don’t yet know about Brady Smith will feel the same, and will want to add his art to their personal or gallery collections.
The purpose of The Navarro Residence is to offer a non-traditional exhibition space, under the stars that promotes an atmosphere of experimentation via a personally curated art collection; along with an interactive opportunity for guests to experience what it is like “living with art.”
