MADE POSSIBLE BY its namesake late philanthropist, the new Glorya Kaufman Community Center transforms a dormant building adjacent to the Wende Museum into a vibrant mixed-use cultural and educational facility including a theater, classrooms, “learning garden” and community gathering spaces.
Diverse programs, all free, include courses on illustrating children’s books and smartphone film-making and Wellness Wednesdays. Additional support for the center came from nearly a dozen benefactors including the city of Culver City and the Ahmanson Foundation. The Wende is an art museum, cultural center and archive “dedicated to bringing history to life.” Two exhibitions launch this month: Enrique Martinez Celaya: The Sextant, about cultural, architectural and emotional responses to the Cold War in the Caribbean, and Intersections: The Architecture of Victor Adegbite and Charles Polónyi in Ghana, focusing on socialist-era designs in that country.
