Presented by the City of Santa Monica’s Cultural Affairs Division, Art @ Tongva is an experimental art program in Tongva Park that highlights Tongva’s unusual geography of gardens, winding paths, and urban vistas, reimagining the small, exquisite spaces of the park designed by James Corner Field Operations.
