The Spanish Village Art Center’s quaint buildings and courtyards were built in 1935 to depict a charming old village in Spain for the second California Pacific International Exposition. The popular and beautiful attraction was reopened in 1937 as an art center by a group of local artists. During World War II, the US Navy used the village for temporary barracks. In 1947, it was reclaimed and restored by the artists. Today Spanish Village is a thriving community of over 250 artists working in a variety of media.
