Mark Peacock Photography and Aurora Blue Studio are proud to support for their ‘Story Teller ‘fundraising gala at the historic in Beverly Hills. Thursday, October 23, 2025 from 6:00 PM 9:00 PM
Saban Theatre - 8440 Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills, CA 90211
We’re honored to donate a signed, framed fine art print titled Windward & Pacific for their upcoming charity auction. This striking night scene depicts the iconic intersection beneath the glowing Venice bulb sign that stretches across Windward Avenue.
The sign is a replica of the original, first installed in 1905 by visionary developer Abbot Kinney to draw visitors to his new seaside resort, Venice of America. The original disappeared sometime in the 1950s, but in 2007, a faithful reproduction was installed—bringing a piece of Venice’s storied past back to life and once again lighting up the heart of the community.
The Storyteller Awards is Venice Arts’ new signature fall fundraising event. A dynamic short film awards night celebrating the power of youth storytelling. The evening honors standout alumni from our acclaimed Digital Storytelling Pre-Apprenticeship, showcasing their original short films and creative achievements on the big screen. Guests will enjoy an inspiring program alongside curated appetizers, cocktails, and a lively silent auction, all in support of Venice Arts’ mission to empower marginalized youth through photography, filmmaking, and media arts.
