Testimonials
“I thank you and your staff for, once again, providing us a welcoming and beautiful hillside haven to celebrate our annual Fall Gala.”—Children’s Literature Council of Southern California
“It is such a pleasure to hold our events at Skirball Cultural Center. From the moment we arrived, the Skirball Cultural Center has been welcoming and generous in every respect. It’s the perfect home for a complex multi-day business conference, but with its architectural beauty, Skirball Cultural Center is like a mini-vacation escape for our attendees. Coordinating an event that starts at 7:30 a.m. and finishes with a beautiful sit-down dinner for 300 is a challenge for any organization, but you handle it with the ease and grace of the best hosts. Thanks so much for your ongoing support, and we look forward to our next event at Skirball Cultural Center.” – Victor Harwood, president, Digital Hollywood
