Hi, at last I can answer the question you have all been asking! We have received a $2 million seed grant from the Annenberg Foundation, as well as the Culver City Redevelopment Agency’s approval of an exclusive negotiation agreement to develop a prime downtown property (valued at more than $1 million), at 9814 Washington Blvd. It’s an ideal location just east of the Kirk Douglas Theatre, very close to where we were we were for 16 years.
It will take time and all-out effort to build our new home. The goal is to open in 2012. Meanwhile… please continue to support our “Movable Feast” presentations and we will keep you updated as the adventure unfolds!
Exciting isn't it?
