Artist Sought for 18th Street Design Team due Monday October 22, 2007
18th Street Arts Center is planning to build a new arts facility on its current site. It is recruiting a process-oriented artist or artist team to become part of the design team led by award winning architects Pugh+Scarpa. View Application
A New Arts Building for the 21st Century
18th Street Art Center, a private nonproft, 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 facility 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 30,000 square feet, located on the same site as the planned redevelopment.
Design Team

Architects Pugh+Scarpa are nationally recognized for thier inspiring public buildings, green designs, and affordable housing expertise. The project will be managed by Community Corporation of Santa Monica, a nonprofit developer that has won multiple national awards for building sustainable and affordable housing.

Read more about 18th Street's history
Brief History of 18th Street
18th Street grew out of High Performance Magazine, an internationally recognized performance art review which was published by Linda Burnham, Susanna Dakin and Steve Durland from 1977-1998. The three artist/writers moved the magazine from Los Angeles to several warehouses in Santa Monica that Dakin purchased in 1988. The property included Judy Chicago's old studio where the "Dinner Party" was created. Named the 18th Street Arts Complex, many artists were invited to take up residence and several arts organizations were founded including Highways Performance Space, Side Street Projects, CARS, and Electronic Cafe International. The combination of artists and organizations has created a thriving, innovative arts community with local and international impact. 18th Street artists have been honored with Guggenheim, Rockefeller, COLA and McArthur Genius fellowships.

Artists Needed for Fun Project
Hello Everyone!
Kids Mosaic is currently looking for some talented artists who would love to do some artwork for the lovely kids at Mosaic Westside.
We're looking for some artists who would be willing to work on some large 8'x 4' canvases that we would hang with hooks on PVC piping, to be used as a backdrop for our KidsMosaic classroom so that it doesn't look so much like a high school classroom. The artwork would describe Mosaic's core values.
If you or anyone you know is interested in helping out and is inspired to create, please contact me (Sarah) at ssjjaa57@yahoo.com or Eileen Lu at luinjapan@yahoo.com .

Julia and Carisa
OH MY! Mosaic's first fashion ministry event was a success! July 28 a group of style-loving students and professionals gathered on Skid Row at Union Rescue Mission, armed with their weapons of choice: sewing machines, pin cushions, tape measures.
The purpose of the event was to create a community for the many fashion-minded folks who come to Mosaic and crave a fashion outlet, and also to serve the residents of Union Rescue Mission since God created us with our talents to use them for his Kingdom! And we ushered in the Kingdom as many of us put patches on knees, Joshah tailored a suit for a young lady, Julia sewed up pockets on a pair of jeans where the owner couldn't keep his keys in it any longer, and much more.
Mosaic's Fashion Ministry has many events coming up this August, as well as a fashion show in the future. Just as Carisa envisioned this event for URM, we would love to hear your ideas as well. Come back to this site for updates!

Gallery Event
On August 12th, from 5-12PM there will be a dinner/gallery event at Koda Sushi in Hollywood, CA to raise funds to create an orphanage in Zambia. Zambia is the number one place in the world with kids afflicted by disease, living on the streets, and who have no family structure to help (no aunts, uncles, moms, dads). Sixty acres of land has been purchased to create a space for the kids to live, learn, and remain healthy. One complex has been built and several more are needed. The money raised from the event will directly go to pay for the mud, bricks, and labor to make this happen.
The idea of the event is for the people to connect with the food through the chef, art through the artist, which ultimately leads to a connection between the guest and the cause. I have never seen an event quite like this with 6 courses of food, on-site artist, a full cafe, and everything being donated. Everyone’s input and creativity are welcome to make this an overall experience, not just a dinner party.
If you are interested in being a part of this team, please contact Tammy Borrero at tammy@mosaic.org or call (909) 553-9800.
