Frogtown Artwalk 2026 (free)

FROGTOWN ARTWALK
Run by Frogtown Arts, formerly the Elysian Valley Arts Collective, the Frogtown Artwalk is a biennial FREE tour of the studios of the artists and artisans of Elysian Valley (Frogtown).

Every two years, Frogtown welcomes art lovers of all ages to enjoy pop-up galleries, artists' studios, musical performances and art installations along the Los Angeles River. The next Frogtown Artwalk is scheduled for September 19, 2026.

In 2026, we will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Frogtown Artwalk on September 19th, 2026.

Frogtown Artwalk is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
