History
18th Street Arts Center was founded by writer Linda Frye Burnham and Susanna Bixby Dakin, a visual artist and publisher of High Performance Magazine.[3] In 1988, Dakin purchased the former production studio of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party and four other adjacent buildings in Santa Monica and launched the nonprofit. In 1998 Dakin sold the buildings to the nonprofit 18th Street Arts Center.
