LOS ANGELES, CA - January 28, 2018 - The self guided home tour that celebrates weird, funky, and dramatically unique homes is coming to Los Angeles on May 18th, 2019. Weird Homes Tour has been to Austin, Houston, Detroit, Portland, San Francisco and New Orleans, now for the first time ever we’re asking 8 -10 homeowners of Los Angeles’ funkiest living spaces to throw open their rainbow colored doors and show strangers the most uniquely bizarre homes that Los Angeles has to offer. Following a map provided by Weird Homes Tour, visitors can choose their own adventure, exploring each home and getting to know the creative minds that brought them to life. Tickets are $30 to see all of the homes, spread across different neighborhoods in LA.
More than just a day of adventure and discovery, Weird Homes Tour believes in giving back to the community by raising money to help provide affordable housing for local residents. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Art Share LA, a Los Angeles based nonprofit that helps provide affordable creative space for artists to reside, develop, perform, and exhibit their work.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Send us your tips and suggestions for the 8 -10 homes that should be part of Weird Homes Tour LA 2019. We want living spaces designed by the type of thinkers who can see an airplane and call it “home”. What makes a home weird? ‘Weird’ is a fluid concept, but we know it when we see it! It could be a unique structure, collection of ephemera, an art installation, or simply a unique style of living. If it varies from what could be called “normal” we want to see it! Anyone who sends us a weird home recommendation will receive two free tickets for the tour.
WHAT DO HOMEOWNERS GET?
If your home is chosen to be a part of Weird Homes Tour Los Angeles, you will receive professional photos of your home, as well as publicity for any business associated with the home in press, social media and on the official Weird Homes Tour website. Owners can sell merchandise at the home on the day-of-the-tour and will receive four VIP tour tickets to give to friends and family.
