CSRC Wins Major Grant from Warhol Foundation

The CSRC has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to support the implementation of Home—So Different, So Appealing, an exhibition the CSRC is organizing as part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: L.A./L.A. initiative. The exhibition will explore how contemporary U.S. Latino and Latin American artists explore the concept of “home.” It will open at LACMA’s Broad Contemporary Art Museum in June 2017 and then travel to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH), among other anticipated venues. The exhibition is co-curated by Chon A. Noriega, director of the CSRC; Mari Carmen Ramirez, the MFAH Wortham Curator of Latin American Art; and Pilar Tompkins Rivas, coordinator of curatorial initiatives at LACMA.
