The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery reopens on Saturday, May 18 with COLA 2024, an exhibition of new work by five Los Angeles-based artists, featuring dynamic installations of ceramic, sculpture, photography, video, painting, and drawing. Founded in 1997, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs Independent Master Artist Project (COLA IMAP) is an annual grant awarded to a selection of the City’s most exemplary mid-career artists to support the creation of new works. Artists are chosen by a peer review panel that includes curators, cultural workers, and past COLA IMAP grantees. This year’s recipients of the COLA IMAP grants in design and visual arts are Jane Brucker, Mariah Garnett, Janna Ireland, Debra Scacco, and Bari Ziperstein.
