Artists throughout the Arroyo area open their studios and homes to visitors once a year, in the month of November, for the Discovery Tour. Sponsored by the Arroyo Arts Collective and the Historical Society of Southern California, the tour showcases the artistic riches of the community. Surrounded by hills and bordered by the Arroyo Seco, the Northeast neighborhoods of Highland Park, Mt. Washington and Eagle Rock are home to one of the largest concentrations of artists in Los Angeles. “What makes this art tour unique,” stated Kate Burroughs, Tour Coordinator, “is the combination of history and art. The Arroyo was the city's first cultural center at the turn of the century, and it's artistic legacy continues today.”

In 2007, the theme of the Tour was time – tour goers were invited to stop clockwatching and have a good time visiting artists’ homes and studios.

Tour goers had the opportunity to discover work by over 70 local artists, featuring such diverse work as paintings, sculptures, ceramics, collage, computer graphics, screen printed clothing, photography, letterpress, printmaking, fiber arts and spray can art.
