Camera Obscura

Tucked into Palisades Park, the Camera Obscura Art Lab is a creative hub built around a mid-century revolving camera obscura device. Although the mechanism has been closed to the public since 2020, the space continues serving Santa Monica as a vibrant community arts studio, offering artist residencies, workshops, and pop-up exhibitions. With its history-rich architecture and hands-on programming, it’s a unique choice for planners seeking an intimate, cultureforward setting or brand activations with local arts resonance.
