Art Crawl 2007
A decade ago, Billy Shire's brainchild 'Art Crawl' included his gallery La Luz de Jesus as well as other Eastside venues in an effort to organize and capitalize on our artistic community's potential. Since then, the Crawl has mutated and expanded throughout the neighborhoods of Echo Park, Los Feliz, and Silverlake. For the first time this year, the Crawl includes several Atwater Village galleries, for they fit very well into our community of exhibition spaces and sensibilities.
