Free Admission Friday at Marciano Art Foundation - see INFO below. There is an undeniable vibrancy of artistic activity in Los Angeles, especially strong in the past decade, that MAF strives to enhance and contribute to through its unique programming and vision. MAF implements this through thoughtful presentations of the Collection, innovative commissions, site-specific installations, and the development of an active educational program for students of all ages. One of the aims of MAFs programs is to teach the audience how to look at contemporary art and ideas at large with open minds and to embrace the questions they give rise to with thoughtfulness and curiosity. The collection contains works by well-established, mid-career and emerging artists, predominantly from the 1990s to present. It is the Marcianos desire to share such forward-thinking and dynamic artworks with Los Angelestheir home for the past 35 yearsas well as with the rest of the world. By opening up their collection to the public, it is their hope that the public will be inspired to appreciate and engage in the transformative power of contemporary art. More Info below.
