After a great afternoon and evening of giving my usual tour of Gallery Row during the Downtown LA Art Walk, we were stopped by a line of police officers on our way back to our cars blocking Spring Street between 5th and 6th. It was around 10pm and the group now consisted of actress/blogger Beverly Sotelo, Niche.LA Production Manager Norberto Briceno, and our amazing new Gallery Row intern, Nicolei Gupit.

Check me out! My work is profiled in Asiance Magazine. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I’d be profiled in an Asian women’s fashion rag. That’s clever!

Just saw this story posted about Gallery Row in SlamScene.
Last night, a terrible tragedy occurred on the streets of Gallery Row during the monthly Downtown LA Art Walk. A mere one block north of where Niche.LA is located, this accident hits terribly close to home. From what I understand off reports from BlogDowntown and LAist, a baby was killed when a car jumped a curb while parallel parking. The driver mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brakes. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected and the driver was not charged… but it still leaves a mother and community at an unspeakable loss.
I don’t know how to articulate exactly how I’m feeling. Based on the current reports, it was an accident. The driver was not under the influence, but was driving barefoot during the moment in question. The mother was taking her two month old baby on a stroll during the Downtown Art Walk at 9 at night. Then they met… and that changed everything.
Just saw this story called Gallery Row – Los Angeles Success Story… well, it’s not a story but an advertisement for IET Downtown. Interesting to me how they’re using our story to sell real estate. I just want to sell art.
LA Times does a piece on the new Gallery Row street signs. Whew! Five years work coming to an end…
New Signs Are Wayfinders For Gallery Owners
The new Gallery Row signs get noticed by BlogDowntown. A little annoyed with this post considering nobody contacted us for the story, but instead interviewed someone who had nothing to do with the project. Not to mention, the signs are for visitors, not the gallery owners. We already know where the galleries are.
Gave a tour to filmmaker Quentin Lee and friends… He blogs about it at Film Hustler.
