LOS ANGELES, CA, January 26, 2026 – “Under One Roof” is a group exhibition opening February 22 in the four-room Propeller Gallery at Santa Monica Airport Arts Center Studios 3026 at 3026 Airport Avenue inside the airport.  The show, curated by Los Angeles-based art critic, writer and curator Peter Frank, features work by 32 artists with studios in the complex, spanning multiple disciplines.

The expansive exhibition celebrates the almost 25-year legacy of the Airport Arts Center Studios 3026 and the vibrant community of creators who have populated and flourished in its studio spaces and galleries, which are currently overseen and managed by Community Arts Resources.

In an excerpt from the essay for the show and catalog, Peter Frank writes, “The artists currently gathered in the Santa Monica Airport Art Studios – like all the artists who have occupied the rooms in the complex – plough their own fields, work their own magic, exemplify states of mind and matter as diverse as there are modes of art available to them… The Western world brims with such intimate multiple workshops; artists carve themselves workplaces wherever they need to, and usually do it as a cooperative production. Less usually, the studio cluster is made official and permanent, in contrast to the inherently experimental nature of such clusters but welcome anyway in the relative stability provided.”
