Art Will Always Be Here
The South Bay Art Department will host a final art show at their Manhattan Beach address before moving to Hermosa Beach on Friday from 6 – 9 p.m. The show will feature ten local artists exemplifying the depth of exploration and creative ability of the studio. “It’s a goodbye to the physical location of where the Art Department started, but not to the surrounding community,” Henderson Blumer from the Art Department said. “Our studio facilitates learning about art, with a warm welcome to any age group and level of experience that wants to come in and create.” The show will be at 1727 Aviation Blvd, MB. Their new studio is located at 1075 Aviation Blvd, HB. Visit mbartdepartment.com/ or call 310-379-5879 for more information.
