Bohemians, Lofts and Downtown Los Angeles
This night honors “The Beat Generation,” who defined freedom of expression on so many levels. Taking themselves to higher states of conciseness using simple tools such as the American road, a glass of wine, caffeine and a typewriter; the new bohemians of their time broke ground for us. The typewriter is now a keyboard, but the beat still goes on — we are in the same circus with a different set of clowns. Since 1978, the artists of our time have come to Downtown Los Angeles with that same pioneer spirit, following the “low rent” dream. This is the artist family tree, growing and sinking its creative roots into the soil of Downtown Los Angeles. We gather to celebrate the Bohemian lifestyle in our Year of 2010 with an event that has its roots in 1940′s. This is rise of the Renaissance of Downtown Los Angeles that is at the core root about artists living the dream. Come celebrate this special time of magic centered in the “Last Great American City.” We are the Lost Angels, we have the Beat. This is an Event to Honor the Beat Generation of the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s “Beatniks.” The Torch has been passed, and we keep it burning!

Many words about the Bohemian culture describe what is happening now in Downtown LA. The Artists are moving to Downtown LA in numbers, just like SOHO in the past. Soho was a manufacturing zone transformed into an artist in residence situation, coining the term “LOFT” in historic manufacturing buildings. At the time, artists illegally lived in these large lofts, ignoring the zoning violations, and making use of the abandon and dormant space as a result of the bad economy in New York City. This is our situation here in DTLA now. The term “Bohemian” as related to Bohemianism – i.e. describing the nontraditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, musicians, and actors in major European cities – emerged in France in the early 19th century when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class gypsy neighborhoods.
