The spring Beverly Hills Art Show, held on May 17-18, brought nearly 30,000 visitors to Beverly Hills and Beverly Gardens Park, where 237 artists exhibited their work outdoors along four blocks of Santa Monica Boulevard from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive. Attendees enjoyed artwork in ceramics, drawing and printmaking, glass, jewelry, photography, mixed media, painting, photography and digital art, sculpture and watercolor. Other featured events included a creative zone with people of all ages engaging in fun, hands-on artmaking, and a beer and wine garden where adults were able to relax and enjoy live music and a demonstration in trace drawing, watercolor, painting and chalk art by Stacy Nalapraya, who drew a large scale vibrant piece on the street near the food trucks.
