CELEBRATING DIVERSITY
by Chiachio & Giannone
In order to commemorate local and international LGBTQ+ communities around the world, The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) is presenting a special installation about diversity and pride in collaboration with world-renowned Argentinian artistic duo, Leo Chiachio & Daniel Giannone.
The presentation includes the 120 ft. long textile flag, MOLAA's new acquisition "Californian Family in Six Colors 1" and a recorded interview about their creative process. These artworks were created by the artists at MOLAA where more than 3,000 members of the Long Beach and Los Angeles community collaborated in the creation of the flag. The creation of this work of art took place during the artists’ MOLAA residency between March and June, 2019.
Visitors and community members were invited to contribute with the construction of the work of art by adding their own messages about the meaning of diversity and acceptance. The banner was carried by over 100 volunteers at the Long Beach Pride Parade and exhibited at the event Pride at The Port in San Pedro, CA.
The Museum highlights underrepresented voices of Latin Americans and Latinos in the US and around the world. This installation represents the commitment of MOLAA towards the values of diversity and inclusion for all through the arts.

LA ART SHOW TOURS
by DOT RED
Dot Red is hosting specially curated tours at the LA Art Show, starting Thursday, February 6th - Sunday, February 9th, 2020 at the Los Angeles Convention Center! As LA’s largest and longest-running art fair, this year marks a milestone both for the LA Art Show and the entire LA art community. As the LA Art Show celebrates its 25th Anniversary, Los Angeles will be gearing up for the largest lineup of art and cultural programming in the city’s history—rivaling New York, the reigning arts capital of the US. They are premiering the European Pavilion, a brand new programming section comprised of contemporary European galleries, with an emphasis on exhibitors and artists from Spain, Italy, and the UK. The pavilion will be a celebration of the profound influence that European art has had on the world, with participating galleries curating exhibits that highlight the various movements and stylistic developments that have defined much of Western art.
