| Los Angeles County Museum Of Art Exhibition, Act On It!, Comes To The Lancaster Museum Of Art & History |
Lancaster, CA – The Lancaster Museum of Art & History (MOAH) is pleased to announce their latest exhibition organized as part of LACMA and Art Bridges’ Local Access Initiative, Act on It! Artists, Community, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition will be on view at MOAH from Saturday, May 10, 2025 to Sunday, August 31, 2025. The opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Saturday, May 10, from 2 to 4 p.m.
In 1967, brothers and artists Alonzo and Dale Brockman Davis opened the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles, likely the City’s first Black-owned and operated art gallery. Motivated by the cultural renaissance occurring in the wake of the 1965 Watts Rebellion, the brothers built a crucial space for emerging artists of color. Act on It! Artists, Community, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles brings together dozens of works from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s collection, showcasing the range of experimental approaches to painting, printmaking, and sculpture featured at Brockman. Organized around six key themes–Roots, Material Experimentation, Body & Identity, Common Ground, Civic Engagement, and Uplift–this exhibition celebrates the Davis brothers’ courageous endeavor. Featuring work by artists including the Davis brothers, David Hammons, Betye Saar, Charles White, La Monte Westmoreland, and Carrie Mae Weems, Act on It! illuminates the transformative potential of art to expose injustice, raise consciousness, and shape culture.
