Explore culture, art and walking in East Hollywood! The tour begins outside the Hollywood/Western stop along the Metro Red Line (right on the SE corner of that intersection), and includes a visit to our Folk Art Everywhere partners, Panos Pastry and Thailand Plaza Fine Thai Cuisine. Look at different examples of public and folk art, including murals, shrines, sculptures and beyond.

Also learn a bit about the two very different ethnic communities that sit side by side—Little Armenia and Thai Town—along the less-known but no less fascinating stretch of iconic Hollywood Blvd.

The tour will end at the top of the hill at Barnsdall Art Park, where tourgoers may enjoy a picnic with fabulous views of LA, or opt to take the Vermont/Sunset Metro back to Hollywood/Western.

Transportation and lunch not included. Total mileage: 1.5. Wear comfortable shoes.
