“Under One Roof” is a group exhibition in the Propeller Gallery at Santa Monica Studios 3026 at Airport Arts Center in Santa Monica. New events are planned for April, along with the announcement that “Under One Roof” has been extended through May 31.
Curated by Los Angeles-based art critic, writer and curator Peter Frank, the expansive exhibition features work by 32 artists with studios in the complex, spanning multiple disciplines including sculpture, painting, textile, photography, ceramics, prints, and drawing. “Under One Roof” celebrates the almost 25-year legacy of the Santa Monica Studios 3026, and the vibrant community of creators who have populated and flourished in its studios and galleries in its historic hangar at Santa Monica Airport.
On Sunday, April 12, there will be an “Under The Roof” Curator’s Talk with Peter Frank and Curator, Museum Administrator, Artist Coach and Consultant Andi Campognone. This special event runs from 2:30-4:30PM, with the talk scheduled for 3PM in the Propeller Gallery. Campognone will interview Frank about how he conceptualized this large group exhibition, and the processes, challenges – and rewards – of curating a show featuring so many artists working across various disciplines.

The City of Santa Monica’s Airport Arts Center now houses the largest concentration of artists in Santa Monica, comprising 60 art studios and creative spaces across four airplane hangars and additional buildings. After the city conducted a competitive search, Community Arts Resources (CARS) was selected in 2025 to steward programming for Studios 3026
