Event Description |
Join curator Susan M. Anderson and exhibitions manager Katie Dolgov for a virtual discussion covering the exciting stories behind building the collection that became OMA’s upcoming exhibition GIFTED: Collecting the Art of California at Gardena High School, 1919-1956. Connect with this remarkable, student-driven collection by taking a deeper look at several of the works on display, and find inspiration in its story of how arts engagement can tie a community together for generations. Accessible on any device, Behind the Exhibition: GIFTED is the perfect introduction to the art and artists of Southern California—and a great way to plan your next in-person visit to the museum.
The Gardena High School collection includes major works from California Impressionists such as Maynard Dixon, Maurice Braun, Jean Mannheim, Agnes Pelton, and Edgar Payne. Bridging art, history, and community, this exhibition highlights the visual beauty of Western landscapes while unveiling the story of an innovative collaboration between high school students and their community that produced lasting impact. |
