CHIMMAYA presents ‘Arte Para La Gente | Art for the People’

15 years in business….we’re closing ChimMaya at the end of November

Machete, 2012 by Oscar Magallanes

After much consideration…We’ve decided (Steven & Dan) that we want to take ‘some time off‘, from the day-to-day responsibilities of running and operating our gallery.

It’s been an incredible experience! 

We’ve been fortunate to meet, represent, and exhibit so many amazing/talented artists, whose careers are now getting the recognition they deserve and hopefully, have benefited from the exposure our gallery has given them.

We invite you to join us for a not to be missed exhibition @ ChimMaya

CALIFORNIA MUSEUM, EL ARTE DE LAS ALMAS: DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS 2019

October 11 – December 15, 2019

Opening at the California Museum’s Día de los Muertos Fiesta on Fri., Oct. 11, “El Arte de las Almas: Día de los Muertos 2019” (“The Art of Souls: Day of the Dead 2019”) is a new exhibit featuring original art and contemporary altar installations by California artists including Oscar Magallanes, John S. Huerta and Raul Mejia.

A journey through life, love and death, the exhibit explores the Mexican cultural tradition of honoring deceased loved ones each year on November 1 and 2 by displaying calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls), altares de muertos (altars of the dead) and ofrendas (offerings), which has evolved from the Aztecs to modern-day Mexico and California.

Members of the public are also invited to remember a lost loved one in the exhibit’s Community Altar.

¡Ya Basta!

¡Ya Basta! The East L.A. Walkouts and the Power of Protest

June 15 2018 – February 25 2019

LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes presents ¡Ya Basta! The East L.A. Walkouts and the Power of Protest, a retrospective exhibition which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the East Los Angeles walkouts and brings the story of this important moment in the history of civil rights to a new generation of students. Through photographs, posters, documents, memorabilia, music, film footage, and contemporary art, the exhibition explores educational inequality in California and the actions taken by the Mexican and Mexican American students of East Los Angeles to change unequal conditions in their schools. ¡Ya Basta! links the East L.A. walkouts to a longer history of Latinx protest, including recent student activism around gun control. Interactive exhibition elements challenge visitors to stand up against injustice and become a part of this powerful legacy. Public programming throughout the run of the exhibition, including films, panel discussions, and guided student tours, will inspire intergenerational conversations about the past, present, and future of Latinx activism. The exhibition is on view from June 15, 2018 to February 25, 2019.

LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes
501 North Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 • 888 488-8083 • M,W & Th, 12–5 pm, Fri-Sun 12-6
