LACE both champions and challenges the art of our time by fostering artists who innovate, explore, and risk. By moving within and beyond their four walls, LACE seeks to provide opportunities for diverse publics to engage deeply with contemporary art. Uniquely positioned among commercial galleries and major art establishments in the heart of Hollywood, LACE has nurtured not only several generations of young artists, but also emerging art forms such as performance art, video art, digital art, and installations.

This grant will support the exhibition Ser todo es ser parte / To Be Whole Is To Be Part, which brings together a group of artists working fluidly within historical and contemporary traditions of drawing, illustration, graphic arts (including printmaking), street art, and muralism. These artists are connected by a seemingly-shared aesthetic language, manifested in their depictions of hybrid beings that are part human, part zoomorphic pre-Columbian deities, walking on Earth in the here and now. The exhibition will run from June 17 to August 16, 2020.
