Every first Thursday of the month, Downtown LA (DTLA) ArtNight transforms the historic heart of Los Angeles into a vibrant celebration of creativity. The support over 30 participating galleries, live performances, vendors, and surprise activations spread throughout the downtown core.
But with so much happening across such a wide area, helping attendees discover what’s going on (and where) is no small feat.
