This year, the Artwalk will feature a“river pavilion” with information on on-going river restoration efforts and live music.  A youth art show will offer interpretations on the theme of “River Ecology”.  Artist Leo Limon, creator of the “storm drain cats”, will share his knowledge of the neighborhood.  A series of movie projections onto the trees in the riverbed will guide visitors from studio to studio.

For the first time, the Frogtown Artwalk will also offer a celebration of text and the written word.  Bookshow LA, located in the NOMAD art complex at 1993 Blake Ave., is home to a careful selection of new, used and vintage books showcased in an interactive creative retail space. Stop by Bookshow LA to participate in a spontaneous poetry event by “Typewriter Poetry” and to see altered books created by local artisans.
