Maybe this is going to be a huge paradigm shift for the art world in LA.
It could mean that the art world will leave Santa Monica, and Centralize itself to Culver City and China Town.
Then we have the Personal Mausoleums opps I mean Museums on Wilshire BLVD....
In a recent article in the Santa Monica Daily Press, it came to our attention that there is the possibility that the Exposition Construction Authority (MTA) would consider razing Bergamot Station in order to house a maintenance facility for their cars when light rail comes to the West Side.For over a decade, Bergamot Station has been a rich arts and cultural resource for Santa Monica and greater Los Angeles. It has been the perfect model for private/public partnership, transforming an abandoned area into one of the most important arts and culture destinations. Approximately 800,000 people visit Bergamot Station each year in order to experience the Santa Monica Museum of Art, the City of Santa Monica’s premier arts institution, and over 30 galleries. The decision of where to place a maintenance facility will be decided on Friday, March 27. Please join us in the fight against this maintainance facility at Bergamot Station! Here are a couple of ways to help: 1. Sign our letter of protest at ArtsForLA:http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o 2. Write a letter protesting the maintainance facility at Bergamot Station and detail reasons for keeping this rich and vital arts center. Send to: Phase2@exporail.net |
