It was a busy weekend in the city of Venice, CA. The Venice Heritage Museum curated a photographic exhibition held at VICE. It was not only a celebration of Venice culture built by generations of locals, but also a reunion of people who may have not seen each other in many years.
The exhibition illustrated the history of its famous Boardwalk from its founding to the current day and featured photographs by Henry Diltz, Estevan Oriol, Dotan Saguy, Josh “Bagel” Klassman, Pep Williams, Paulo Freire Lopez, and Gerry Beckley. The silent auction included large-format darkroom prints and digital images with the proceeds benefiting the Venice Heritage Museum. An acoustic performance by Chris Abbott (aka Kid Caviar) and spinning the dope vinyl was by DJ Buck rounded out the evening.
