Explore the Los Angeles Arts District by Bike: The Ultimate LA Art Tour
The Los Angeles Arts District is one of the city’s up and coming neighborhoods, blending industrial history with modern creativity. Known for its street art, world-class galleries, and cutting-edge tech spaces, this area offers a dynamic mix of creative culture and innovation. On our Arts District Bike Tour, you’ll experience the heart of Los Angeles’ street art scene, from iconic murals and contemporary galleries to hidden alley art and local foodie destinations.
How did this trendy neighborhood come to be? Situated between the LA River and turn of the century warehouses, the Arts District became a magnet for international street artists, graffiti writers, and creative minds in the early 80’s. This bike tour takes you deep into its fascinating history, exploring how this once industrial zone transformed into one of LA’s most sought-after creative hubs.
You’ll visit standout locations such as the renowned Hauser & Wirth Gallery, Sci-Arc, and Art Share LA, while learning about the rich history and cultural impact of each site. Ride through Bloom’s Square, past Warner Brothers Music, and discover the hidden wonders of the American Hotel and The Container Yard—each a piece of LA’s evolving arts landscape. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the murals that made the Arts District famous, introduce the artists behind the street art, and explain how this area is continuously reshaped by new developments and the creative industries.
The tour isn’t just about the well-known art spots. You’ll pedal through secret alleys, uncovering works from lesser-known local artists and graffiti crews. From vibrant murals you’ve seen all over Instagram to exclusive, off-the-beaten-path art pieces, this tour offers a unique perspective of the neighborhood.
With plenty of stops for photos, breaks at Hauser & Wirth, and a route designed to take you through the heart of this post-industrial district, this bike tour is perfect for those seeking to explore LA in a fun, immersive way. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a local, or a visitor, our Arts District bike tour will help you see a side of Los Angeles you won’t find anywhere else.
