San Pedro Art Association<\/a> is having a celebration!\u00a0 Of course, it’s going to be a colorful one–and you’re invited.<\/p>\n

Their free “First Thursday Art Walk” happens this evening, Thursday, September 3, at 6:30.\u00a0 Walkers meet at the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce for a guided one-hour tour of local and visiting artists in open studios.\u00a0 Every “First Thursday” is different, with varying itineraries as these monthly tours visit approximately three different locations.<\/p>\n

What they all have in common, though, is plenty of interesting creative spaces to explore.\u00a0 After the tour itself ends, it’s time to poke around and discover treasure on your own, among the local studios open for the occasion.<\/p>\n

\"plaza\"<\/a>You’ll find no lack of “creatives” with whom to visit.\u00a0 Thirty-six open art spaces, studios and galleries are listed on this month’s map, on SPAA’s First Thursday website<\/a>.\u00a0 For entertainment, the map lists “live music at the 6th and Mesa Street Plaza”, while the website<\/a> mentions nine other venues.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out this month’s special features, too.\u00a0 “Be the Change: the Corita Experience<\/a>“. featuring the work of artist Corita Kent, opens this evening at San Pedro’s Klaus Art Center.\u00a0\u00a0 South Bay Contemporary at the Loft also opens their show, “Via Negativa: The Transcendence of the unReal”, tonight.\u00a0 This exhibit features fourteen contemporary artists’ perceptions of negative theology and an attempt to clarity the religious experience.<\/p>\n

A preview of San Pedro Festival of the Arts<\/a> will be available, as well, as People’s Yoga Health and Dance<\/a> offer a free dance concert, featuring several dance companies.\u00a0 (The flyer doesn’t list a time on this one, but the location is 365 West 6th Street, near South Meza.)\"fish<\/a><\/p>\n

And you’re advised to come with an appetite.\u00a0 San Pedro has everything from English pub fare to Hungarian food–and of course, gourmet food trucks will be on site, as well.<\/p>\n

All this, and free parking, too!\u00a0 Enjoy, and have a safe, happy and creative Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

San Pedro Art Association’s “1st Thursday Artwalk” guided tour begins this evening, September 3, 2015 at 6:30 at the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, 390 West 7th Street near South Mesa.\u00a0 Parking is free on San Pedro Streets and in Municipal Lot after 6 pm, according to the San Pedro 1st Thursday Artwalk website<\/a>.\u00a0 Here’s their link<\/a> to download and print a map of the galleries and studios open for exploring in the old Downtown San Pedro area.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
