The Great Art Walk Round-up: Fullerton

The Great Art Walk Round-up: Fullerton

by | Oct 8, 2013 | ALL, Art Events, Features, The Scene | 1 comment

We had the most fun at the Fullerton Art Walk. It’s a little spread out with three distinct areas (see map) VioletHour-PÄS-Hibberton, the Fullerton Museum Center four blocks away and in between the  Carpe Diem Experience, a cluster of small galleries, craft tables and food trucks. You can find affordable art here, and we saw a lot of red dots. We enjoyed the industrial/renovated gallery interiors and blues at the Fullerton Museum Center open mike night. We recommend waiting out traffic: the crowd peaked around 8 to 9 and doesn’t start winding down until 10 p.m. The breakdown:

The Crowd: 20s+, eclectic, families, and students
The Art: The gamut from sculpture, furniture, video, installations, to painting and photography as well as collectives and collaborations
What you won’t find: established commercial artists, Real Housewives
Gallery Pick: Internal Gallery & Oddities
Check out: Open mike night at the Fullerton Museum Center, PÄS
After: Amazing Mediterranean food at Les Amis
