Santa Monica Airport ArtWalk
This year, the fifth annual Santa Monica Airport ArtWalk, in addition to the open studios, demonstrations and workshops, will feature live music, theatrical performances and food.
More than 60 local artists and performers will have their private studios and works on view at the fifth annual Santa Monica Airport ArtWalk, including Santa Monica Art Studios, Santa Monica College Art Mentor Program and Ceramic Arts and the Ruskin Group Theatre. The airport arts community is a unique, cultural resource located in one of L.A. County’s oldest operating airfields. Throughout the day there will be firing demonstrations of Raku Japanese pottery, highlights from the Ruskin Group Theatre’s popular monthly offering L.A. Café Plays and theater and art workshops for kids. The Mad Alsacians, an accordion-driven ensemble, will perform traditional 1930s – 60s French music and food will be offered from local restaurants Typhoon and Spitfire Grill and the Border Grill food truck and The Sweets Truck.
ARENA 1 Gallery presents the exhibit Evolution Revolution: The Interconnectedness of All Beings, a collaborative art exhibition and forum between Buddha Cat Press, ten renowned visual artists, Santa Monica Studios and SociArts Productions. The team has come together to produce a socially conscious exhibition focusing on animal welfare and the environment. The mission of this project is to use art to open new dialogues and explore human perceptions about nature and the environment, awakening and inviting people to make more conscious decisions about their food, clothing, pet and lifestyle choices. The exhibition is curated by Karen Fiorito.
The Museum of Flying will have a sneak preview of their collections, exhibits, aircraft, and educational programs that will be offered when they re-open in late summer 2011.
The ArtWalk is part of Buy Local Santa Monica Expo 2011, a free community event dedicated to showcasing local businesses and the importance of buying local.
