The SECOND SATURDAY of every month is ART WALK GALLERY NIGHT in NORTHEAST LOS ANGELES.

Galleries, artist studios, businesses, shops and restaurants open their doors as the streets fill with shoppers, diners, patrons and interested pedestrians.

Here at our office, on the SECOND SATURDAY of every month we transform our front lobby into a POP-UP ART GALLERY displaying work by some of our neighborhood’s most talented and creative artists.

Our June exhibit features large scale surrealistic mosaic paintings in beads and glass tiles, and sculpture by internationally recognized artist Rafael Matias.

We have food and drink, an d out on the sidewalk. . . LIVE MUSIC by acclaimed Americana/Blues guitarist CARLOS GUITARLOS and his band. . .

Los Angeles Times says: “. . .The technique is unmistakably sophisticated: chords and melody played simultaneously, the way Chet Atkins might have done. An old gravelly blues voice, perfectly cracked, effortlessly in tune, pours from the slumped singer. The truthfulness of the voice commands you to listen. . .”

LA Weekly says: “If you’re going to name yourself Carlos Guitarlos, you’d better make sure you’re a damned good guitarist. So good, in fact, that you can play anywhere, out on the streets or in a fancy concert hall, with the uncanny ability to pull from memory just about any blues-rock classic and, on top of that, play it in a style that’s uniquely your own. And then, somehow, you should also be so good that you can write and sing dozens of your own originals, in all manner of genres, from bewitchingly sad ballads and deft Beatles-like pop structures to ragingly dirty blues and Latin soul. --Falling James”
