Join 2025 Artist Fellows for a talk on 'The Porch' as space & metaphor for connection in Santa Monica’s people, places & culture.

The porch is both a physical place and a metaphor for connection. It’s a threshold, a liminal space, and it is ripe for fresh interpretation.

Join 2025 Santa Monica Artist Fellows Frances Anderton, Jona Frank, and Nicola Goode in a discussion exploring “The Porch” through the lens of Santa Monica’s people, places, and culture, and share your ideas for community gathering spaces in the beach city.

By registering for this event, you’ll also be subscribed to the City of Santa Monica Arts & Culture newsletter.
