    Art walks are always fun to visit. Not only do you get to see a variety of art, but also meet a wide array of other people. I have only been to smaller local ones, so I can only imagine how cool going to a large scale one in San Diego would be!

    It covers 16 blocks? It might be more of an ArtRun if you want to see it all. I think this would be very interesting to go to.

    This is located in Little Italy. It would be so cool to eat at an authentic Italian restaurant and stroll through the streets there, and maybe even check out that mile long mural.

    I am a terrible artist, but I enjoy seeing other peoples amazing talent. You never know what you will find at an art walk, sometimes you find that perfect picture to hang above the couch. Sometimes you just meet a nice person to have coffee with.
