The mission of the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College is to serve as a unique educational resource for the diverse audiences of the college and the community through the exhibition, interpretation, collection, and preservation of works in all media of the visual arts.
New Voices: The 2017 Student Art Exhibition features a range of notable ceramics, costume design, photography, painting, sculpture, drawings, and mixed media works produced by East Los Angeles College (ELAC) students during the 2016-2017 term.
Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell is the first comprehensive retrospective of photographer Laura Aguilar, assembling more than one hundred thirty works produced over three decades. Through photographs and videos that are frequently political as well as personal, and which traverse performative, feminist, and queer art genres, Aguilar offers candid portrayals of herself, her friends and family, and LGBT and Latinx communities.
DIS…MISS presents twenty artist videos engaging in dialogues between feminism and gender fluidity.
The altars and ofrendas (offerings to the deceased) in this exhibition were produced by students as part of ELAC Professor Angelita Rovero's course Mexican Americans in the Arts in American Culture.
Works on view from our permanent collection hail from around the world, and include Pre-Columbian ceramics and textiles from Mexico, Central America and Peru, Modern Mexican masters and Contemporary Art.
