On Thursday March 15, 6-10PM, the VAC will kick off the first art crawl of 2018!  Instead of having art events throughout the town, as in years past, this year the VAC will focus on  specific areas, this  first one being  Windward Avenue, between Windward Circle and the beach.

In honor of Women’s History Month, the VAC will acknowledge Venice trailblazing women artists at the Legendary Women Artists of Venice event where Judy Baca, Jules Muck, Emily Winters, Meryl Leibowitz and others. This special event will take place at 8:00PM inside the Red Bull Room at Hotel Erwin, 1697 Pacific Ave, a short block south from Windward Avenue. This is an invite only reception. To get on the list, please email [email protected].

Aside from the happening at Hotel Erwin other artists that will be showing include: Lindsey Nobel  at Bank of Venice, 80 Windward Avenue, multi-media paintings by Richard Glass will be displayed at Glass Hair Design, 1501 Main Street at Windward Avenue, and  Edward “Pancho The Artist” Davila, will be present on Windward with his tattoo mobile bus.

There will be exhibits and pop ups at various restaurants along this stretch of Windward, including: Great White, Larry’s, Hama Sushi, the Bank of Venice and Gotta Have It. 

Here are some of VP’s favorites.

And, here is a super fun fact about the Venice Art Crawl.  It was founded by Venice Paparazzi’s Edizen Stowell, Canal Club/James’ Beach’s Daniel Samakow, and Mike Newhouse.

Thankfully, it is going strong into its eight year.  A big fist bump to all the folks who have participated, and volunteered through the years!
