Venice Garden & Home Tour Benefiting Neighborhood Youth Association
Neighborhood Youth Association: Celebrating 110 years of service with the 22nd Annual Venice Garden & Home Tour
A popular local tradition returns Saturday, May 7th, with the 22nd annual Venice Garden & Home Tour benefiting the Neighborhood Youth Association, an agency specializing in scholarships and 100-percent college placement for graduating high school seniors. NYA’s acclaimed “Personal Best” after-school tutoring programs build on 110 years of continuous outreach serving Venice for the last seven decades.
This year’s tour showcases the fabulous work of esteemed architect Steven Shortridge by featuring homes by his design. Steven's career spanned more than twenty years as an influential & highly-recognized Los Angeles modernist architect, before he passed away unexpectedly on May 3, 2014. The tour will include his daring Venice creation for John Melfi, New York producer of "Sex in the City" & will end the day with a soiree in his honor on the beach at Horizon House, Steven's last project. NYA is forever grateful for Steven's ongoing support of the organization & participation in the Garden Tour & are thrilled to be honoring him!
Set to include delectable eats, drinks & van transportation, & brief, informative docent-led talks, this year’s tour is limited to 200 participants, so be sure to get your tickets right away.
