On November 19th, the Arroyo Arts Collective invites you to visit the homes and studios of the artists who make up the 2017 Discovery Tour! The assembly of artists ranging from emerging to established, and from fine artists to craftspeople, will open their doors to you as part of one of the oldest and most celebrated art tours in Los Angeles.
As a Tour participant, you get to see painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, jewelry, woodworking, and many other forms of artistic expression in a wide range of styles. On top of 
that, you get the rare chance to admire an array of historic homes and colorful art studios in this vibrant community. Whether you are a savvy art collector looking for an edgy addition, a new home owner looking for wall decor, a fashionista looking for a cool pair of earrings, or a holiday shopper looking for that one-of-a-kind gift: you will find it!
The Final Tour will start at the Southwest Museum Mt Washington Campus, 234 Museum Dr, L.A. 90065, beginning at 9:30 am, where participants can pick up a map and plan their day, while checking out the wares of Tour craftspeople showing at the Museum. Homes and studios will open at 10:00 a.m.
The Preview Party featuring sample work from Tour artists will be held Saturday, November 11, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at Avenue 50 Studio, 131 N Ave 50 , Los Angeles, CA 90042 in conjunction with the NELA Second Saturday Art Walk. Refreshments and live music will delight party-goers into the night while they sneak peek at some of the goods for Tour day!
Although this is our Final Tour, the Arroyo Arts Collective will continue to forge ahead with its dedication to neighborhood involvement in the arts. Innovative art-driven activities and exhibitions are on-going. Art exhibits, poetry readings and theater shows are just a few of the events to watch for. Also keep an eye out for Teatro Arroyo and Tierra De La Culebra Art Park, now under stewardship of the Arroyo Arts Collective, as they bring new programs and energy to our community.
