Downtown Hollywood

ARTS PARK is a mix of   modern architecture in a sprawling urban landscape. The park combines layering of materials such as concrete and metal and glass.Different shadows colors and lines create a whimsical feel throughout the park.  The designers were able to integrate natural aspects like bamboo and palm trees into hard materials. There are many interesting things to see and do in Arts Park.There is a beautiful fountain on the west side of the park. The water rises and falls in unison with multi-colored lights in the water putting on a dazzling show. As you walk through the park you will hear music playing seemingly from the trees which adds to the ambiance of the park.

  glassblowing There are lots of cool activities to do that are open to the public. On weekends you can catch LIVE glass blowing demonstrations. Watch artists create beautiful pieces and jewelery and sculptures right before your eyes. The demonstrations are free and take place every Thursday Friday and Saturday, 7pm to late.

A new addition to downtown is the murals painted across the front of the Ramada Hotel on Harrison street. Kudos to them for letting local artists express themselves so freely on such a big canvas.Then if you walk down a little further past 20th ave. there's a huge portrait of a woman in the alley way across from Lulus on Harrison restraunt. Luckily I get to drive by it everyday on my way home.

PRL is a funky, cool artist hangout.Dont worry about having to fit in here. Every month they feature a new artist and their artwork is on display on the walls. The artwork is always thought provoking and outside of the box. ive bought two pieces from this place. The art is very reasonable priced which is awesome. You can try one of the 100 different kinds of beers they have from all over the world. With names like Delirium, Zywiec, Framboise and Skull Splitter your sure to find something you like. Every first Friday of the month theres an Art Show with great local artists. But everyday of the week you can admire the art and have a good beer. My 2 favorite things in life. PRL is located at 1904 Hollywood Blvd ( Across from Whiskey Tango) Best times to go is on the weekend when they usually have live bands.  Hours: Mon-Sun 5 pm - 2 am
