Visit the airport where imagination takes flight!

 

Santa Monica Airport

Art Walk

 

From the place where the founders of modern aviation, Howard Hughes, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, once leapt into the air, artists now leap into new worlds with new ideas.  In tiny offices where engineers once constructed models and blueprints artists conceive new visions.   And in vast hangars where schematics were hammered into great flying machines of steel and aluminum artists fabricate works which carry no passengers or freight, but take flight with our imaginations and dreams.

The Santa Monica Airport has a rich historical background as the former home of Douglas Aircraft and birthplace of the DC3. But in addition to its aeronautical roots, it has developed into an art incubator and is now an alluring destination occupied by a number of creative venues.  To showcase this cultural hub and all its assets, the City’s Cultural Affairs Division and the Santa Monica Airport will sponsor the second annual Santa Monica Airport Art Walk. This fun-filled event will take place on March 29th, 2008 from 1:00 – 5:00pm.     


Located on Airport Avenue between Bundy Drive and Walgrove Avenue (23rd Street if you are coming from Santa Monica), south of Ocean Park Boulevard, the airport is home to numerous private artist studios, the Santa Monica Art Studios complex, the Sherry Frumkin and Arena One galleries, the Santa Monica College Ceramic Studios and Arts Mentor Program, and the Ruskin Group Theatre.  These spaces will all be open to visitors during the Art Walk providing a unique opportunity to view the current work of local artists and explore the spaces where their imaginations take flight.
