Brady Westwater

Curator of Downtown Los Angeles

At age 17, Brady Westwater began his cowboy life of taming wild horses, wrestling five continents of street fighters, retrieving stolen airplanes from South America and guarding Columbian emeralds from bandits – all of which prepared him for his present job of curating Downtown Los Angeles.

After working in the Holy Trinity of LA - film, TV & real estate, Westwater moved Downtown and helped start the Downtown LA Neighborhood Council, Gallery Row, Downtown Fashion Week, the Art & Fashion Walks while working on civic planning projects from the Police Headquarters to the Park 101 Freeway Cap and recruiting 50 businesses and non-profits to Downtown.

Today's goals are reopening Broadway theaters, a Los Angeles Museum and finishing a novel, his memoirs and the book '101 Ways to Save Los Angeles.' He blogs at www.lacowboy.blogspot.com & www.downtownfashionwalk.blogspot.com.
