An exhibit showing how art transformed the identity of lands that belonged to Spain and later Mexico into the Golden State is the Laguna Art Museum’s contribution to Pacific Standard Time, a regional exploration of Latin American and Latino art opening in September and running through January 2018.
Last week, the Getty Foundation announced $8.45 million in exhibition grants to 43 Southern California organizations participating in the far-flung cultural event.
The exhibits and programs highlighting different aspects of Latino art has been in the works for three years and arts organizations from Santa Barbara to San Diego will participate, the foundation said in a statement.
Laguna’s exhibit was funded by more than $300,000 in Getty Foundation grants.
