38th Annual Downtown Venice Art Festival

More than one hundred regional and national artists set up gallery-style tents along West Venice Avenue for this juried outdoor exhibition organized by Howard Alan Events. The street closure allows pedestrians to walk directly among the booths, which feature original works across multiple mediums including life-sized bronze sculpture, large-scale acrylic painting, hand-thrown ceramics, and precious metal jewelry. The artists are required to be present on-site throughout the weekend to discuss their materials and methods. The layout typically spans the blocks between US 41 and the Venice beach pavilions, integrating the outdoor gallery with the city's existing historic downtown storefronts.
