After an extensive search, Brentwood Art Center has secured a long-term lease for a new physical campus in Santa Monica. On November 1st, BAC will take possession of the space and begin the anticipated three-month build-out, with an estimated completion time for the Spring 2023 term.

BAC’s new 7,400-square-foot, two-story art center increases usable classroom studio space by over 1,400 square feet, providing 8 new art studios for making, creating, innovating and building. Designed for increased flexibility, the Center will include a ceramics studio, two painting studios, two drawing studios, two multi-purpose spaces, and a children’s studio. The space also includes movable walls allowing even greater access for special events and programs.

Located at 1625 Olympic Blvd. in Santa Monica, the Center is centrally located for easy access from all over LA. County, with abundant parking and a Metro Rail station just around the corner. Crossroads School, 18 Street Art Center and a park, complete with playground, are only a few steps away.

Special thanks for BAC’s Board of Directors for their unwavering commitment and perseverance in leading the charge of finding a suitable space. The Center is fortunate to have their incredible support and leadership to help move BAC into its next Chapter.

Amy Gantman is the Executive Director of the Brentwood Art Center.
