SUMMARY:"Act on It" Closing Program: Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:Luis J. Rodriguez Artist walkthrough\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1986\, the Brockman Gallery presented Common Ground\, a landmark exhibition that invited audiences to reflect on the shared struggles\, creative expressions\, and cultural values of underrepresented artists across communities. Curated by esteemed Chicana artist Linda Vallejo\, the show affirmed\, “We are all here together\, living on common ground.” \n\n\n\nWhile Brockman is best known as a center of the Black Arts Movement in Los Angeles\, the Davis brothers were committed to promoting outstanding underrepresented artists more broadly\, supporting Asian American\, Latinx\, and women artists\, and fostering meaningful cultural exchange through collaborative exhibitions and curatorial partnerships.  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a panel exploring Brockman’s inclusive philosophy\, its role in community-building\, and its enduring impact on Leimert Park and beyond\, moderated by acclaimed scholar\, curator\, and critic Dr. Tiffany E. Barber. Presented in tandem with Act On It! Artists\, Community\, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles.  \n\n\n\nWelcome remarks by Lauren Hanson\, Assistant Curator of Modern Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Panel  participants will include Dale Davis\, Dominique Moody\, Margaret Garcia\, Michael Massenburg\, and Linda Vallejo\, artists whose work has intersected with the legacy of the Brockman Gallery and who continue to embody the foundational values of Common Ground. \n\n\n\nThe afternoon will conclude with a live musical benediction by The Voices of Creation whose rousing performance closes the exhibition with joy and reverence. \n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with Writ Large Projects. \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule \n\n\n\n1:00 PM: Welcome remarks1:05 – 1:15 PM: Opening presentation1:15 – 2:00 PM: Panel 2:00 – 2:10 PM: Intermission break w/ refreshments and snacks2:15 – 3:00 PM: Performance by Voices of Creation 3:00 PM: End of program \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow Credits\n\n\n\nThis exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in collaboration with the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College; Riverside Art Museum; Lancaster Museum of Art and History; and California State University\, Northridge\, Art Galleries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocal Access is a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year\, multi-institutional partnership formed by LACMA as part of the Art Bridges Initiative. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll exhibitions at the Vincent Price Art Museum are underwritten by the Vincent Price Art Museum Foundation and East Los Angeles College. \n\n\n\nImage by Monica Orozco.
