Boardwalk Through the Ages

Following the project’s successful spring Indiegogo fundraising launch, we are hosting a group photo exhibition outdoors at VICE Media in Venice that will transport viewers through the many eras of Venice’s famed Boardwalk, from the city’s founding at the turn of the century through the present day.

A silent auction of large format gallery images will accompany the exhibition, featuring renowned rock & roll photographer (Morrison Gallery / The Doors), (Netflix's 'LA Originals'), (Venice Beach: The Last Days of a Bohemian Paradise), (Suicidal Tendencies; 3rd Gen Dogtown), (Underground Venice Photographer), (LA Photojournalist), and (of the band 'America').

Limited tickets are available for a VIP Meet & Greet reception with photographers Henry Diltz and Estevan Oriol prior to the exhibition from 3:00-5:00 pm. All proceeds from your ticket purchase directly benefit the Museum project, and contributions are tax-deductible to the maximum extent possible.

The event will feature additional prints and apparel for sale to support the Museum, a special acoustic performance by Chris Abbott aka Kid Caviar, sounds by DJ Buck, complimentary refreshments from Bev, Cann, and Firestone Walker, food carts, and more!

Our Campaign:

We have already raised over 65% of our goal to fund Phase 1 of our business plan to build the Venice Heritage Museum! We have conditional approval from the City of LA to install the Museum at Venice-of-America Centennial Park, and only need to raise $40,000 more to meet the qualifications to obtain the lease. The money we raise will directly fund the restoration of our original to house the Museum, and help us transport the Red Car for installation at the park. All proceeds from the silent auction and event will be applied towards this goal.

About our Organization:

The Venice Heritage Museum is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating an inclusive museum that preserves, showcases, and nurtures Venice’s historical legacy. We aim to establish a public campus that enriches the lives of current and future generations of Venetians and visitors through exhibitions, events, and activities hosted onsite, improving the present with the past.
