Santa Monica Museum of Art always has the coolest events and the most fascinating crowds and this Saturday night will go down in history as one of their absolute best! Cause for Creativity is a unique series of SMMoA workshops that combine art making with social activism.  At Resolution in the Bag, The underground collective Hit+Run will conduct a live silkscreening party where participants make one-of-a-kind silkscreened cotton bags to use instead of plastic. You can also enjoy the positive creative mixes of The Dublab Soundsystem, and pop into The BLNKBooth to take pictures of yourself, your friends, and your new bag!

An example of Malibu Tile at the Adamson House in Malibu

Christ Walden tells the fascinating story of the Rindge family, who owned property in Santa Monica and Malibu and created one of the most successful and admired art potteries in the region.  Most lectures rely on slides and illustrations to showcase their subject matter, but by locating the talk in landmark Embassy Hotel Apartments, the Santa Monica Conservancy has chosen to surround the audience with brilliant examples of the rich designs and colors of the subject matter.  Ms. Walden was guest curator at the California Heritage Museum's exhibition on vintage California tile in 1991, and her book, California Tile: The Golden Era 1910-1940 will be available for sale at the lecture.
