Each month, to coincide with the Downtown Art Walk, Biddy Mason Park in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles becomes a thriving outdoor art gallery. Featured are some of the most talented artists in southern California. The many people who attend the Art Walk pass through this shaded courtyard, lingering to see and purchase art while sipping wine and listening to live jazz.
Biddy Mason, the namesake for this beautiful park, played a crucial part in the building of downtown Los Angeles. Her powerful story is told on a wall in the park. It is fitting that Biddy would be proud to host the vision and creativity of these artists. Here is artist Mark Venaglia’s full-scale painting of Biddy.
