18th Street Arts Center hosts programming and exhibitions in two campuses in Santa Monica, one at 18th Street and the other at the Santa Monica Airport.
18th Street Arts Center recognizes and acknowledges the first people of the ancestral territory on which its two sites have been built. With respect to their elders, past and present, and future generations, we recognize the Gabrieleño Tongva – who are still here – and honor, with gratitude, the land itself and those who have stewarded it throughout the generations. We honor and respect the many indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather, and we commit our work in service to and in alignment with these values, which we have codified in our core values. Please see http://www.gabrielinotribe.org/ for more information.
