Park Studio takes interdisciplinary art education outside SMMoA’s walls and into the local community. Led by the Museum’s director of education and public programs, in collaboration with acclaimed contemporary artists, Park Studio guides high school students through hands-on art workshops, art history lessons, and field trips to important cultural sites each year during their Spring Break. Park Studio explores themes that combine art and urban life, and provides extraordinary extra-curricular opportunities to students free of charge.
Support for Park Studio has been generously provided by the Eileen Harris Norton Foundation, the Barnwood Foundation, the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, Edison International, the Whittagy Fund at the California Community Foundation, and Kayne Capital Advisors Foundation. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission.
In-kind support was provided by Dr. Patricia Anawalt and Anawalt Lumber as well as Bergamot Café. Special thanks to Virginia Avenue Park Teen Center, Santa Monica High School, Olympic High School, the Knowhow Shop, Dru Korab, and the Llano del Rio Collective.
