The Venice At Crawl is switching things up a bit for 2018. Rather than hosted events throughout the neighborhood, each quarterly crawl will be held in a concentrated pocket of Venice. The first event takes place Thursday, March 15th from Windward Avenue to the beach, 6 to 10 p.m.

Abbot Kinney womenswear boutique Negarin London is hosting an evening of art and music. Pat Conlon will be showing his new installation 'Beach Archeology' with an acoustic session by singer Emmett Skyy.

Wallflower Venice, a relative newcomer to the Rose Ave. dining scene, and one of the best spots in town for a modern twist on Southeast Asian flavors (and cocktails), recently added brunch to its repertoire. The menu moves from American staples like egg sandwiches and biscuits with jam to savory dishes including Chinese barbecue pork belly and chicken satay.

There's also a rotating selection of artwork on display in the rustic-modern dining room interiors designed by Dustin Miles (Venice Beach Wines). And starting Sunday, July 31, Tim Roller's work will be on display, mixed-media pieces that utilize a variety of materials, from wood and glass tile, to crystals and rope. The show is presented by Tessellate, which creates multi-sensory experiences of music and art. To commence Roller's month-long residency, Wallflower Venice is hosting a special brunch with what they've described as dreamy daytime musical vibes from Ken Satellite. 

Google L.A. transforms into an art gallery, and more than 50 local artist studios will open their doors to the public this Sunday, May 17th at the annual Venice Art Walk & Auctions, a fundraiser for the Venice Family Clinic.

The silent auction features renowned artists including Peter Alexander, Edgar Arceneaux, Charles Arnoldi, Billy Al Bengston and many more. Check out participating artists here. Behind Google HQ, check out the Community Celebration on Hampton Dr. for food trucks, music, muralists, a dog day care “Barking Lot,” artisan shops and the kid-friendly Imagination Station. Both the auction and community celebration are free to attend, though donations are suggested.

Art exploration continues with the Art Walk Studio Tours, where more than 50 private art studios all located within a two-mile radius of the Google headquarters, open up to the public. Meet the artists and see where the magic happens. Tickets for the studio tours are $50 and include special offers at nearby restaurants and retailers, VIP promotions, and auction discounts on the day of he event. Ticket holders also receive their choice of a 2015 collectible t-shirt or poster. Click here to see this year’s running list of offers.
