CANOGA PARK ARTWALK
11:11 X CANOGA PARK IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
CANOGA PARK, 2010-2019
​
ABOUT THE EVENT
In 2010, 11:11 ACC was approached by members of the Canoga Park Improvement Association with the idea to begin an artwalk throughout Downtown Historic Canoga Park. From that moment forward, 11:11 began production of our first large scale community event and satellite gallery.
​
Along Owensmouth, just north of Sherman Way sat four empty storefronts that had not been occupied since the building was constructed a few years prior. 11:11 worked directly with the property owner to rent the four empty retail spaces and transform them into temporary gallery spaces, once a month, 5 months out of the year. In the first few years of the Canoga Park Artwalk, 11:11 hosted over 200 artists and artisans in these gallery spaces while the neighborhood joined in to offer live music, pop-up shops and activations within local businesses.
By 2014, we gained street closure of Owensmouth between Sherman Way and Wyandotte and pulled the party onto the streets resulting in a full blown block party complete with artist displays, an art market, live painting, mural making, live music, dancing and a food trucks along with the continued participation of the neighborhood and local businesses.
