California State University, Long Beach is located in one of the most diverse regions of the country, with 82% of the student body identifying as non-white, and ranks second in the nation for degrees awarded to students of color. The Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at CSU Long Beach creates exhibitions and programs that provide space for critical interpretation of contemporary modern art and culture to students and the greater community.

Funding will support the monographic painting exhibition by the LA-based painter Linda Besemer, which will be the inaugural exhibition in the newly expanded facility.
