The survey will help 18th Street's architects, Pugh+Scarpa, with the design of 30-60 modern and affordable artist live-work studios as well as various kinds of presenting, workshop and office space for emerging and established arts organizations.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION for ARTIST to JOIN DESIGN TEAM

18th Street Art Center, owns two thirds of a city block with five buildings in Santa Monica. 18th Street is planning to replace its aging warehouses with a new 80,000 square foot arts campus to expand its support to artists and arts organizations. In concept, the new arts center will include a cultural commons space for multiple small performing and visual arts organizations and up to sixty affordable live-work artist studios. A new flexible theater and workshop space for Highways Performance Space and other performing groups is envisioned, along with a professional gallery and multiple nonprofit offices. 18th Street is also studying the feasibility of including a café, blue-screen special effects room, sound recording room and screening room. Five to ten of the live-in studios will continue to support 18th Street's International Exchange Program for short-term residencies. This concept is nearly three-fold expansion from 18th Street's current campus of five buildings (30,000 square feet), located on the same site as the planned redevelopment.

 

DESIGN TEAM
18th Street has assembled an expert project team and seeks to complete it by adding a notable artist or artist team to the design group. Architects Pugh+Scarpa are nationally recognized for their inspiring public buildings, green designs, and affordable housing expertise. The project is being built in partnership with Community Corporation of Santa Monica, a nonprofit affordable housing developer that has won multiple national awards for their sustainable and affordable housing. The design team will create Santa Monica's first 'green' art center.
