Santa Monica Artists in Residence, 2020 - 2024 | Exhibition on View: May 15, 2025 – October 5, 2025
This retrospective exhibition showcases many of the artists who participated in the Annenberg Community Beach House and Camera Obscura Art Lab Artist in Residence (AiR) programs between 2020 - 2024, and whose work we were unable to exhibit publicly during the pandemic closures. The Beach House residency began in 2009 with the opening of this facility, while the Camera Obscura AiR program was instituted in 2014.
