LA/LAndscapes: Real and Imagined

Studio Channel Islands’ invites you to explore the landscape in which we live through the eyes of seven exceptional artists. LA/LAndscapes: Real and Imagined is a contemporary art exhibition exploring the themes and traditions of landscape painting both north and south of the Mexico/USA border.

Today, nearly half the population of Los Angeles has roots in Latin America and yet the voice of the Latino and Latin American artist is under represented in our theaters, galleries, and museums. In response to this gap the Getty has initiated an extensive collaboration of over 70 cultural organizations from San Diego to Santa Barbara to take a fresh look at the vital and vibrant traditions in Latino and Latin American art.

LA/LAndscapes: Real and Imagined is Studio Channel Islands’ response to this project and the beginning of a larger program of exhibitions that explore the connections within our community and celebrate the diverse perspectives of people who share this land. The exhibition will be opened on the 16^th of September, Mexico’s Independence Day, by Consul Roberto Rodriguez from the Mexican Consulate in Oxnard.

LA/LAndscapes: Real and Imagined will show at the Blackboard Gallery until  the 18^th of November, 2017.

The Blackboard Gallery at Studio Channel Islands is open Tuesday to Friday 11am to 5pm and Saturday 11am to 3pm.
