A Special Night Honoring the Teachers of Our Community
What an incredible evening at the 2026 Wave Awards at Blankspaces in Venice Beach, honoring the teachers who help shape the future of our community.
Hosted by the Venice Chamber of Commerce, the evening brought together local leaders, businesses, sponsors, and community members to celebrate the incredible educators who dedicate so much to our youth. A special thank you to Councilwoman Traci Park for her inspiring words and continued support of our local community.
A huge thank you to the Venice Chamber of Commerce for putting together such a meaningful event, Venice Paparazzi for covering the evening, and Blankspaces for hosting as the venue for this special celebration. We also want to recognize all of the amazing sponsors and community partners who helped make the 2026 Wave Awards possible.
Special thanks to Venice Chamber CEO Karin Wallerstein for doing such an incredible job MCing the evening and helping make the event so memorable.
Catalina Crew was honored to be in attendance through both the Catalina Crew Foundation and Catalina Crew Creamery, giving back to the educators and guests who make such a positive impact in our community. Chef Edgar served up dairy free matcha and pineapple soft serve with homemade toppings, and it was amazing seeing everyone come together to celebrate such deserving members of our community.
Congratulations again to all of the incredible teachers recognized at this year’s Wave Awards.
Your impact reaches farther than you know, and we are grateful for all that you do.
