NEW EXHIBITIONS

Fill My Heart With Hope: Works From The Gordon W. Bailey Collection is an inclusive exhibition featuring exceptional artworks from the collection of the noted Los Angeles-based scholar, advocate, and collector. Few of the 56 artists received formal training, but most overcame significant obstacles imposed because of their gender, race, disability, religion or socio-economic status.

Emil Alzamora: Starship Abundance is a multidisciplinary exhibition, intended “as a nod to the seemingly unending richness that abounds on planet Earth.” Alzamora is best known for his sculpture, where he employs a wide range of materials and techniques to explore the human form, both physically and psychologically.

A Century of Contemporary traces the history of our institution, which first began as a series of exhibitions by artists of the day, used as a fundraising tool to support public school education; then as a guild; and later as an art museum and educational leader.
