De Generación a Generación: Día de los Muertos Annual Art Exhibition & Art Display
On View: SEPT. 25 – NOV. 10, 2019

MOLAA’s Día de los Muertos Exhibition is a juried display of art and altars open to artists residing in Southern California. The art and altars will be on the display to the public in MOLAA’s Education Gallery and are featured as a part of MOLAA’s Día de los Muertos curriculum.

This year’s Día de los muertos theme addresses our lineages and how we have been consciously and unconsciously shaped by them. It will highlight the way in which previous generations: familial, cultural, and community-oriented, shape our beliefs, habits, and customs. De generación a generación invites artists and audiences to connect with parts of themselves they did not know much about, creating a link between the past and the present.

Every year, the Port of Long Beach presents its annual PHOTO Program in partnership with the Arts Council for Long Beach. Port professional photographers share photographic techniques and give local professionals and amateurs alike a chance to apply them on a special harbor tour. The best of these images, highlighting the hidden beauty of an industrial port, form a curated exhibition which will be featured during the month of October for Arts Month.

Open to the public, Monday – Friday starting October 4th – 31st.
