Description
Explore murals, graffiti and public art in Boyle Heights, east of Downtown LA, with a local artist guide. Hear about Chicano handstyle, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo's legacies, and contemporary artists including Shepard Fairey, JR and Risk.
LA's street art culture is rich, layered, and deeply rooted in community. This tour gives you an insider's view into how artists work, live, and create in one of the world's most exciting urban art environments.
Following the outdoor tour, your group heads inside our dedicated art studio for a hands-on graffiti workshop where the creative experience continues. Participants get a real feel for working with aerosol paint in a controlled, supportive environment - exploring the fundamentals of fill-ins, outlines, color blending, and lettering before creating a finished piece of their own. A professional aerosol artist guides participants through techniques ranging from basic fill-ins to more advanced work, giving everyone the chance to experiment with spray paint and create their own original piece of art. The experience is welcoming for all ages and skill levels, and every participant leaves with a new respect for a craft that is far more nuanced than most people realize.
