About this Event

We're celebrating Arts, Culture and Creativity Month and the opening of the Santa Monica City Gallery with an inaugural exhibit on loan from USC Architecture, "Case Study: Adapt". Free, all are welcome!

Arts, Culture and Creativity month lasts throughout April - check out other arts events in Santa Monica here.

The city of Santa Monica’s first municipal art gallery makes its home at Bergamot Station Arts Center and showcases group exhibits of local art and design and works from the city’s collection.

On view April 10 – September 19, 2026
“Case Study: Adapt Design Release” an exhibit by USC Architecture.

Gallery hours after opening event: Wednesday - Saturday, 11am-5pm.

In response to 2025’s devastating wildfires, ten architecture firms designed 16 homes for families affected by the fires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena communities. This exhibit features architectural models created by students at USC School of Architecture in collaboration with the Case Study: Adapt architects.

Established statewide in 2019, thanks to Senator Ben Allen and California for the Arts, April as Arts, Culture & Creativity Month recognizes the vital role that arts and culture play across the state, and promotes advocacy for the creative sector. Santa Monica is proud to participate once again by inviting residents to explore free programs, resources and opportunities to engage with the arts close to home.
