MySnaps : Arts District , Downtown Los Angeles

The Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, previously known as the Warehouse District, occupies the eastern side of Downtown Los Angeles. The area is sometimes referred to as the "Artist" or "Artists District".
The Arts District is filled with older industrial and former railroad buildings. In 1981, the City of Los Angeles passed its "Artist in Residence" or "AIR" ordinance, which allowed residential use of formerly industrial buildings (artists had long used such spaces as living quarters illegally in any case ). The artists living there use the exterior walls of the buildings to display their work which is frequently updated ..... here are some pictures:
