Until further notice, the City’s Emergency Office of Operations is requiring that face coverings and social distancing be in place for non-household members as it is unknown whether all persons present are fully vaccinated. Thank you for your cooperation. Members of the public should not come to the Beach House if experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms or under a quarantine or isolation order. Public spaces will provide instructions for safe distancing, but the public’s support in being mindful of COVID-19 best practices, including frequently washing hands and using hand sanitizer, is appreciated.
It’s Happening! The courtyard and splashpad are open daily beginning June 15, 9am-4pm.
This past year’s budget was scaled back as a result of COVID, and this summer, we’re excited to bring back some of our programming, even if it’s in a limited capacity.
What’s up with the pool and canopies?
We anticipate that the pool and reservable canopies will return July 1 as proposed in the City of Santa Monica’s FY 2021-2023 Proposed Biennial Budget.

About the Gallery:
As part of the City’s ongoing commitment to provide cultural programming, a rotating exhibition program has been created to showcase the work of local artists, artist groups, photographers and curators—both emerging and established. Exhibitions are programmed a year in advance through an open call for group exhibitions issued each year in early summer. For information about this and other artist opportunities, check here and join the "Artist Opportunities" email list. For more information about the gallery, please contact Santa Monica Cultural Affairs at (310) 458-8350.
About Artist Residency Program:
In celebration of Marion Davies’ support of artists, and to further the work of artists in all disciplines, the City of Santa Monica created the Annenberg Community Beach House Artist Residency program. Several times a year a local artist works out of an office at the Marion Davies Guest House, sharing their progress with the public both in person and online. Check out the Artist in Residence blog at beachhouseair.blogspot.com.
For questions about the Residency, please contact Nathan Birnbaum, Cultural Affairs Administrator at nathan.birnbaum@santamonica.gov or call (310) 458-8350. Current calls can be viewed here.
