The Downtown Los Angeles ArtWalk is controversial because this monthly art trekking exercise through the city has already attracted crowds of well over 10,000 art lovers, patrons and lookieloos; but these numbers don't bother Frank Zgonc, the local photographer from Monrovia who exhibited his landscapes and unique scenes at a popular local hangout on Main Street in Downtown LA. As a matter of fact, most people on the street were quite comfortable perusing the galleries, shops, museums and eateries that dot the sidewalks in a revitalized artist community where being creative is the key to this area's success. There was a complementary police presence in addition to the facepainters, bodypainters, glow-in-the dark art, and legitimate big name art stars reflecting the LA culture hanging in front gallery windows on every block. For all the hype, a controversy about who's going to pay for what, as in the clean-up from the afterparties, this crowd looked happy, enthusiastic, and hungry for more art, not to mention good food, and at Bolt Barbers, a nice haircut too!
