When a landslide tore apart the landscape around Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens more than two years ago, closures allowed staff at the San Clemente landmark to really take a look at the space and what it had to offer the community. One of the biggest changes to come out of the lengthy renovation process, which is still in progress, is the addition of The Studio, an innovative space focused on fostering creativity while also connecting artists with the local community.
“While we had a lot of amazing ideas, we were limited with our budget as we recovered and that made us become really resourceful,” said Kylie Travis, executive director of operations and programming for Casa Romantica. “We wanted to use what we had in art, history and antiques to enhance the guests’ experience and The Studio was added as an additional engagement point for our guests that actively supports our arts community.”
