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

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. The Case Study: Adapt Design Release project was co-founded by Leo Seigal and Dustin Bramell, in partnership with USC Architecture, the Eames Foundation, the ten architects, and the participating families in Palisades and Altadena.
