| New Exhibition, Luminous Mysteries Human Symmetries, By Artist Nikolas Soren Goodich, Opens At MOAH:CEDAR |
Lancaster, CA - MOAH:CEDAR and the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) are pleased to announce Luminous Mysteries Human Symmetries, an exhibition by artist Nikolas Soren Goodich. Luminous Mysteries Human Symmetries will be on view at MOAH:CEDAR from Saturday, September 28 to Sunday, November 24, 2024. The opening reception for the exhibition will take place on Saturday, September 28 from 4 to 6 p.m.
MOAH:CEDAR’s newest exhibition, Luminous Mysteries Human Symmetries, showcases Goodich’s ability to transform his trauma, presenting viewers an opportunity to authentically connect and examine the idea of self and the imaged “other,” through the harmony and incongruence of images. His artistic practice explores the paradox of asymmetry and symmetry through monoprint profile portraits, and large scale installation, that allow for moments of quiet contemplation and close examination through its incandescent qualities.
Nikolas Soren Goodich is a mixed-race Los Angeles native. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in the late 1980s in addition to School of the Art Institution of Chicago in the late 90s before earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking at VCUarts in 2019. He has worked as an art preparator for 25 years at some of the most prestigious galleries and museums on the east and west coasts, all focused on fostering curatorial diversity. He is currently represented by galleries in Los Angeles and The Hague, Netherlands, with works in private collections in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union.

| Palmdale Voters to Consider Measure to Save Tax Revenues for Local Community |
PALMDALE, CA – The Palmdale City Council unanimously voted to place Measure PD: Palmdale Essential Services Protection Measure on the November election ballot. If approved by a majority of voters, Measure PD would empower the City to automatically absorb any available redirection of funds, so that additional sales tax revenue stays in Palmdale instead of being diverted to the State of California or County of Los Angeles. Palmdale residents will consider the measure on the November 2024 General Election ballot.
“Measure PD, if approved by our community, would make it so that new tax rate capacities are not redirected to the State of California or County of Los Angeles and instead stay local in Palmdale to fund general services such as public safety, street maintenance and addressing homelessness,” said Mayor Austin Bishop. “On the other hand, if the measure is not approved, new capacities could be redirected to the State or County in the future.”
If a majority of voters approve the measure, the City would automatically exhaust the tax capacity if additional capacity becomes available. For example, if a County tax ends and an additional 0.25% within the maximum allowed sales tax becomes available, then this measure - if adopted - would automatically redirect the 0.25% to Palmdale. In doing so, it would also prevent other agencies from attempting to take the revenue outside the Palmdale community.
