http://www.ikoikospace.com The only things that set Iko Iko apart from a contemporary art gallery are its affordable prices and the utilitarian purpose of most of the stuff on display. The philosophy of this concept gallery, located on Fairfax Avenue in West Hollywood, is a focus on the future, the possibilities of design and the potential for change. Customers can find anything from misshapen, strangely elegant flowerpots to vegetable brushes that resemble potatoes to Hannah Keefe’s chain jewelry, so intricately woven they look like textile.

http://www.lot1cafe.com Some restaurants emerge fully formed, rough edges smoothed by architects and restaurant consultants, menus run through focus groups. Lot 1 is the other kind of new restaurant, a raw space seemingly willed into being, black walls and nine funky tables, heart-stoppingly beautiful tattooed waitresses, and a farmers-market-intensive roster of dishes. I was happy to hear the entire first Black Sabbath album played as soft background music. Restaurant owner Eileen Leslie murmurs about doubling the restaurant's size, installing a tasting menu, beefing up the air conditioning and becoming licensed for beer and wine. She's making it up as she goes along, which could be either annoying or incredibly cool, depending on where you stand on these things. More >>
http://www.machineproject.com This Echo Park space is an art gallery, yes, but it’s also home to anything and everything that its owners find interesting: Musical performances, poetry readings, classes and workshops. Machine has become best known for its array of investigations into science, technology and the human soul with courses that range from electronics and sound design to sewing and natural medicine. They host an average of two events per week, open to the public and free of charge. More >>
http://www.pehrspace.org Hidden in the back of the drab Glen Village parking lot in Filipinotown, this art gallery and live-music space may seem plain on the outside, but it's a veritable hothouse blooming with wild expressions of art and underground and indie rock. Run by volunteers, Pehrspace is a not-for-profit, all-ages venue. Call to schedule appointments for exhibit viewings. More >>
http://www.rafaslounge.com Located just steps from the Echo nightclub in Echo Park, Rafa's Lounge is a comparatively low-key hangout, with live-music performances, art openings and even regular chess matches. The room's entrance is a nondescript doorway that's easy to miss on Sunset Boulevard, but, once you head down the stairs into the lounge's several adjoining rooms, you'll be amazed by the vibrant paintings and elaborate sculptures that decorate the gallery. Set off by a large glass porthole, the main room features a low stage where bands set up, just a few feet away from the beer-&-wine bar. Much of the artwork is for sale, as are the metal sculptures, which are welded and fabricated in house. More >>
This small storefront is part of the burgeoning wave of Echo Park galleries and cafes that sometimes double as live-music venues. Following in the wake of the shuttered Echo Curio and cropping up alongside simpatico joints like Lot 1 Cafe, Sancho presents some of the better underground art and music shows. The gallery's clean white walls are brightened with colorfully dramatic exhibits and group shows by such diverse artists as Anthony Ausgang, Doug Cox, Amy Darsa, Art Morales, Victor Charles Balogh, Andy Takakjian and Marcel De Jure, and even arty musicians like Buko Pan Guerra, Joe Baiza, Nora Keyes and Dame Darcy. There's no alcohol, but there's also no age limit. Street parking. More >>
