Upcoming Events
La Plaza de Cultura y Artes: Community Hub
To kick off PST ART Community Hub activities at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, our community partners will come together at LA Plaza to commemorate Fiestas Patrias Family Day. Fiestas Patrias is among the most significant celebrations in Mexican and Mexican American culture, providing families with an occasion to reaffirm their heritage and identity. A calendar with the specific dates for all the activities will be included in the PST ART Community Hub landing page on lapca.org.
Form and Function in the Ancient Americas
Vincent Price Art Museum’s permanent collection includes artworks from ancient civilizations in Central and South America, with a concentration of art from West Mexico and Peru. Form and Function in the Ancient Americas highlights our pre-Columbian collection’s wide range of civilizations. Cultures from the Nayarit-Jalisco-Colima region of West Mexico (2000 – 1000 BCE) to the Chimú of Peru (900-1500 CE) are featured.
Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art
Prior to the colonization of Southern California in the 18th century, Native communities throughout the region deployed controlled fire regimes to ensure the well-being of their local ecosystems. Fire Kinship counters attitudes of fear and illegality around fire, arguing for a return to Native practices in which fire is regarded as a vital aspect of land stewardship, community well-being, and tribal sovereignty. Wednesdays 12:00 noon – 8:00 p.m., Thursdays – Sundays 12:00 noon – 5:00 p.m.
Victorian Christmas
Christmas Holiday display of our finest antiques, Santa Clauses, angels, choir boys, and village scenes that depict Dickens’s Victorian Christmas. Our Christmas tree will be decorated with our collection of antique ornaments and there will be a display of vintage Christmas cards.
The Ugly Duckling
Storybook Theatre’s fun-filled version of the famous story has lots of singing, dancing, and audience participation…and even a comical ballet…as the Ugly Duckling learns valuable lessons from the audience, Mama Duck and her companion dog, as she transforms into a beautiful swan right before your eyes.
