The air is totally electric this week….the election is over and it’s time to see some art in LA, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate!

THIS WEEKEND:

The Silver Lake Art Crawl

Now in its 11th year, will once again be an affirmation of the
Eastside as an important center of artistic expression, defined by a
creative independence unique to our part of Los Angeles. This weekend
over 25 art galleries will open their doors to display their latest
works and showcase the creativity of over 100 participating artists.

This year’s Art Crawl will be held on the weekend of November 8-9,
2008. There will be a kickoff party at Gold Bear Academy on Saturday
night and a closing reception hosted at Living Room on Sunday.
