The Santa Monica Airport ArtWalk, Saturday, March 19 from noon to 5 p.m., will feature access to artist studios, music, food, ceramics demonstrations, the ‘fastest theater in town’ and kids’ activities, including self-portraiture and theater improvisation. Private artist studios are dotted throughout the airport, and visitors should look for open doors in the 2900, 3000 and 3050 Airport Avenue buildings. Many resident artists will be selling work from their studios. Pacific Palisades artists Joan Vaupen, Sally Lamb, Judy Golden and Wendy Edlen will participate. L.A.

Arena 1 Gallery’s ‘Evolution Revolution: The Interconnectedness of All Beings,’ open through March 27, uses art to explore perceptions about nature and the environment, inviting people to make more conscious decisions about their food, clothing, pet and lifestyle choices. It features work by various artists.
