Airport Art Walk Next
Weekend!
|

Santa Monica
Airport Art Walk
1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, March 10
Airport Avenue - between Bundy Drive and 23rd/Walgrove Avenue.
310/458/8350
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 |

Creative Capital,
the City of Santa
Monica’s new cultural plan was unanimously adopted by the
Santa Monica City Council on
Tuesday, February 27th.
Mayor Richard Bloom opened the discussion of the plan impressed that it
“…achieves such a great deal of consensus from a community that thinks and
speaks in many colors and disciplines.” And indeed, with over thirty people
speaking in favor of the plan’s adoption, it was clear that
Creative Capital
is supported by a wide spectrum of the Santa Monica arts, cultural and
business communities.
Creative
Capital
outlines important steps to achieve the community’s cultural vision over the
next ten years. It provides a roadmap for Santa Monica to retain and build
upon its vibrant cultural sector. Making use of existing as well as new
public and private resources, the City and community partners will be able
to collaborate on flexible initiatives to implement the recommended
strategies and enhance the cultural sustainability that is central to Santa
Monica’s identity and aspirations.
Creative Capital
ensures that culture will continue to play a vital role in sustaining this
unique community.
