Info
In January of 2025, the Palisades Fire came within feet of Villa Aurora. Miraculously, the house survived, allowing us to continue our work promoting intercultural exchange and fostering dialogue in arts and culture.
During the process of rebuilding, we are working with local partners to present our artists’ work within the city.
Saskia Warzecha's off-campus fellowship at the Galka Scheyer House was made possible by the Grimminger Family and Blue Heights Arts & Culture.
