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.

Featuring Los Angeles-based Colombian artist Carolina Caycedo, We Place Life at the Center is an exhibition, publication, and pedagogical platform that directs dialogue and points of exchange among art, science, and environmental justice in the Americas. Caycedo’s multi-disciplinary practice engages with water and land stewardship, food sovereignty, and fair energy transition using Indigenous and eco-feminist frameworks.
