Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer and songwriter Jackson Browne will perform a benefit concert at historic Barnum Hall on the Santa Monica High School campus. Joining the bill are Artists For The Arts Foundation co-founders, international recording artists and local favorites, Venice. Special guests Fred Martin & The Levite Camp will also perform.
The benefit was organized by Artists For The Arts Foundation, a non-profit foundation dedicated to producing fundraising concerts to benefit arts programs in public schools and, in this instance, to help fund the For The Arts endowment.
For The Arts is a community-wide effort to raise awareness and a $15 million endowment to ensure that every student in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District receives a broad introduction to the arts as part of their complete education.
The concert will shake down on the Samohi campus on Friday, June 30. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show runs from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. Tickets go on sale beginning Monday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (310) 450-9862.
