CollectionSam Williams' Photos of the Palos Verdes PeninsulaDate1975DescriptionImage shows east-facing facade of the Palos Verdes Community Arts Center located on a 1.3 acre site at 5504 Crestridge Road, Rancho Palos Verdes. Visible in the foreground is newly planted landscaping with a parking lot at right, and a low masonry wall across the middle. The building was designed by local architect, Lowell "Skip" Lusk and was completed in 1974. The desire to have a dedicated gallery and art center started soon after the creation of the Palos Verdes Community Arts Association in 1931. Through generous contributions and an annual fundraising festival called Art for Fun(d)s Sake, at one time the largest outdoor arts festival in Southern California, the Art Center became a reality 43 years later. Now called the Palos Verdes Art Center, Beverly G. Alpay Center for Arts Education (or "Palos Verdes Art Center"), the Center provides workshops, exhibition space, and galleries for artists all over Southern California.Photo Size8 x 10 in.Photo Format1 photographic print (color)Resource Typestill imageHeld ByPalos Verdes Library District.
