The City of Santa Monica Airport and Cultural Affairs Division, and participating tenants, invite you to explore open studios, watch artful demonstrations, try your hand at an art workshop, and enjoy live music and food trucks in a unique, creative atmosphere.

MARCH 16THsaturday

DOUGLAS DC-3 MONUMENT3100 Airport AvenueDonald W. Douglas founded his aircraft manufacturing empire in Santa Monica just 17 years after the Wright brothers’ first flight in 1903. In 1924, his Douglas World Cruisers were the first aircraft to circumnavigate the globe, and, in 1933, he introduced his famed DC series of passenger planes that again revolutionized air travel. The monument onsite is comprised of a restored DC-3 and a lifesize statue of Douglas by resident sculptor Yossi Govrin.

ARENA 1 GALLERY3026 Airport AvenueARENA 1 presents DECADE OF DISSENT, DEMOCRACY IN ACTION, 1965-1975, an exhibition featuring original protest posters that reveal the persuasive power of art to inspire ideals of democracy. Visually striking and often confrontational, the works call attention to critical social movements that were shaped by the principles, rights, and individual liberties expressed by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The exhibition spotlights California activism around diverse causes—including peace, ecology, labor, and civil rights—showcasing iconic images and slogans that served as vehicles for social change. Decade of Dissent is organized by the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, the largest repository of post–World War II historical posters in the nation.

Exhibition: February 23 – March 23, 2013 Gallery hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 12:00 – 6:00pm

The Art Mentor Program is led by SMC Art Department Chair Ronn Davis, and is team-taught by Carlson Hatton and Emily Silver.
