April 11 | PAC LA Parters - Benefit Launch Party!

Over the past year, the PAC LA leadership team has been developing an innovative new strategy for future growth and community engagement. We are thrilled to announce that on April 11, PAC LA Partners will launch in style with a benefit celebration at the stunning ocean view terrace of Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica.

Join us to be among the first to learn about this exciting new initiative, cheer the announcement of the inaugural PAC LA Partners community project, enjoy light bites and sips, bid at a live benefit auction, and toast to the success of PAC LA's next chapter. Thanks to the generosity of a private donor, 100% of ticket sales and auction proceeds from this event will support PAC LA Partners and our other signature programming initiatives. Your contributions are also 100% tax-deductible.

Ongoing | Brandon Tauszik - Water and Power

PAC LA is proud to host a new solo exhibition by local photographer and filmmaker Brandon Tauszik. In Water & Power, his photographs trace a vast and largely unseen network that sustains life in this city.

From the artist: In the midst of Los Angeles, with its gardens and free-flowing water, you can forget how stacked the odds are against human civilization. It seems given: There is a city, therefore there is water. To see why the order is actually reversed, you’d have to visit the Owens River Valley, an arid wasteland created when the growing city of Los Angeles decidedi n 1905 to suck it dry. In the 200 miles between here and there are countless structures that instantly dispel any given-ness one feels from within the city: the monumental, rusted pipes transporting Sierran snowmelt; the concrete channels across cracked, creosote-studded earth; the 100-year old hydroelectric power plants full of esoteric dials and gauges, running the water through turbines. Pretty soon, the correct sequence reveals itself: There is water — which we went to extraordinary lengths to move — therefore there is a city.
