Downtown Art Walk - Happy Valentine's Day with friends


The Downtown Art Walk is a self-guided tour which showcases the many art exhibition venues in Downtown Los Angeles — commercial art galleries, museums, and non-profit arts venues. I joined some friends for Valentine’s evening walk and dinner. We were excited to visit Martin Gantman and “Old Friends”, his latest solo exhibit encompassing a series of post cards that portray the stories of unexpected meetings with friends during his international travels. “Running into old friends” was a sly reference tying the written work to the photographed image. Picture here is Martin Gantman and me, plus Nadine and Georg. Watch for the next Downtown Art Walk on the second Thursday of March.
