Save the Civic

Our City Council is currently engaged in closed-door negotiations to decide the fate of our historic and beloved Civic Auditorium. For decades, the Santa Monica Civic was a prime destination for international talent, high profile events, and unique exhibitions. With your help, it can be again.
