Save the Civic
About Us
We are a group of Santa Monica residents who have come together to save our historic Civic Auditorium as a music, performing arts and cultural center.
We want to stop City Council from shortsightedly selling off this iconic community asset that belongs to ALL OF US and encourage Council to find an entity to restore The Civic to its intended purpose as a venue for the performing arts, music, and other community events.
Join us! Together we can find a path forward that will benefit all Santa Monicans for generations to come.
Thank you,
