Venice Art Walk & Auctions 2009 You've probably been to other "art walks" in LA, but you probably didn't know the Venice Art Walk & Auctions is the original, and this is its 30th anniversary. And here's something else you might not have known: it benefits Venice Family Clinic, the largest free clinic in the country. That's right, it's a fundraiser, and a huge one at that, with more than 60 artists' studios to tour, ten spectacular homes to visit, and 400 original works to bid on. So put on your most comfortable shoes and put to rest what you think you know about art walks. This is the quintessential Southern California art event...and it helps more than 23,500 people get the health care they need.
Explore five ticketed events:
- "Donut Jamboree" Art Happening, Thursday, April 30
- Art & Architecture Tour: New Wave of Venice Architecture, Saturday, May 16
- Art & Architecture Tour: A Stroll Down Architects' Alley: A Historic Walking Tour of Rustic Canyon, Saturday, May 16
