We plan on welcoming these New Yorkers with open arms….as long as they involve either gourmet ice cream or artisanal, handcrafted goodies. These criteria make the Arts District debut of Brooklyn-born craft market Artists & Fleas a no-brainer. Every third weekend of the month, stroll along Mateo St (between 6th and 7th Sts) from 11am to 5pm, for an outdoor weekend event, featuring locally made art, fashion, vintage wares, vinyl, edibles and beyond. Mingle with LA’s hippest while eyeing hand-beaded jewelry or one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood work from 75+ vendors. Including one of our new favorite local vendors Pretty Soap Suds Co. Plus, there’s a “feed lot” each weekend that features five LA-based food trucks; past participants include Coolhaus, Currywurst and Komodo. Admission is free. Check here for more information regarding this months vendors and more!...
