Santa Monica’s 1st Municipal Art Gallery To Open Soon

SANTA MONICA, CA — The City of Santa Monica opens its first municipal art gallery, the Santa Monica City Gallery, soon at Bergamot Station Arts Center, and is throwing an event to celebrate it.

Kicking off the celebration is an opening reception for the gallery’s inaugural exhibit, “Case Study: Adapt” on April 10 from 10 a.m.–noon.

The reception will feature light refreshments and remarks by California for the Arts Executive Director Julie Baker and a commendation for State Senator Ben Allen (D-El Segundo), the founder of Arts Month. RSVP is available here.

The opening exhibit “Case Study: Adapt” explores how design can meet the challenges of a changing climate to create homes as resilient as they are beautiful. It's on loan from USC Architecture and was previously featured at the Charles & Ray Eames Foundation.

“Case Study: Adapt” showcases architectural models created by USC students in collaboration with ten architecture firms addressing the rebuilding needs of families impacted by the Pacific Palisades and Altadena wildfires.
