Community
Partnerships are at the heart of Windward School, whether among alumni members of the Windward Network, active volunteers of the Parent Guild, or civic organizations in our neighborhood of Mar Vista.
Giving

Animation and Media Arts Teacher Colleen Hargarden recently opened a gallery in LA called Timeshare. "I operate the gallery with five other artists, including my husband Andy Bennett," Colleen shares. "The six of us rotate curatorial directorship for each show while sharing all of the operational logistics and costs amongst the group evenly. The collaborative model of the gallery allows us to curate and support the work of other artists, while also teaching and making our own work in the studio."

Timeshare is open every Saturday from 11am-5pm as well as by appointment. To learn more, read this article in the LA Financial Times.

Congratulations, Colleen!
