POMONA, CA- Never been to the Pomona Art Walk held every second Saturday of the month? Let me tell you, we've been many many times and it is one of the true undiscovered gems of the art world. I say undiscovered with a bit of a wink. Lots of people know about it. Last night we took Jose "Crying Macho Man" Cabrerra and his lovely wife Naomi. They both reside in the Westside of LA with it's own thriving art scene. Jose was quite impressed and I think he's going to pursue his own art show in Pomona.

All in all, if you're an artist, fan of the arts, or just like to look at cool buildings and have free food and drink- I highly suggest you check out the Pomona Art-walk every second Saturday of the month. Lots of really cool art and artists to see. Music, food, a real friendly atmosphere (kids too). If you just want the party scene, believe me it's there. We saw some artist loft parties that were straight out of Less Than Zero! Its a real mix and there is something for everyone. You can tour many of the artist's lofts, too. This won't be the "undiscovered" art scene for long. It's way too cool and vibrant.
The next art-walk is
Saturday, September 10th. Save the date and see you there!

Jim, I was amazed at how amazing this place was. It's like a 'pocket universe' of art and culture in the middle of a city.,I only saw about 1/20th of it and I was impressed. Definitely will be returning there.
I agree, Jav. So much to see and so much unusual and cool stuff! The architecture alone is reason to check it out. Great place for future gallery and animation shows....for sure!!
Looks like a lot of fun!
