The 18th Street Arts Center has been awarded a $40,000 grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to support the exhibition of contemporary visual artists in Santa Monica.

Founded in the spring of 1988, 18th Street is Southern California’s oldest and largest international art center of its kind— a nonprofit residential arts center in Santa Monica that supports artists and arts organizations dedicated to issues of the community and diversity in contemporary society.

The grant will go in part to support 18th Street’s new “Spontaneous Combustion” series, which will introduce the freshest emerging arts and artists from the local art community.

For more information on the center, call (310) 453-3711 or e-mail
