It’s a good weekend to live in Santa Monica — not that there’s ever a bad weekend to live in Santa Monica — but this one is definitely above average. Why? That’s simple, in only three short days, we’ve got smart and sophisticated British comedy, insightful yet raucous forays into the life of a thoroughly modern Latina, youth dance workshops that will stretch the boundaries of space and time, wondrous paintings, free classical music and the absolute best, most effective Saturday morning alarm clock on the planet. Trust me, you won’t want to sleep through this weekend.
Well, that wraps it up for this week’s Palette. Santa Monica’s Cultural Affairs Division is still working away on the development of a new map for the future of the arts and culture in our city — Creative Capital. Thanks to everyone who has participated in workshops and surveys so far. Please check our web site for news about the plan and to learn ways that you can participate in drafting this important document.
