Every month the City of San Pedro opens its doors to visitors celebrating the Fine Arts with its First Thursday ARTWALK!
San Pedro is a city that belongs to the County of Los Angeles District (annexed in 1909).
The variety of its population makes it rich with the diversity of culture and art.

The styles of art, sculpture, photography, painting and pop art fashioned by such a generous influence from the cosmopolitan gathering of artists living and working in such a temperate beach climate yield some of the most unique compositions!
