Los Angelenos/Chicano Painters of L.A.: Selections from the Cheech Marin Collection
June 15 – Nov. 2

This exhibition will combine the works of first-generation Chicano artists—whose careers launched during the Chicano civil rights movement in the '60s and '70s—with works by younger artists. Cheech Marin, the comic actor known for his work in movies, television, and stand-up, has amassed one of the largest private collections of Chicano art over 20 years. Nearly 50 paintings by Los Angeles-based artists represented in Marin's collection are being presented.
