Virtual tour of the Museum of Latin-American Art in LA

Let's celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by virtually visiting MOLAA, a pioneering museum dedicated to ground-breaking exhibits of Latin-American and Latinx artists.

Join us for a one-hour presentation led by two museum docents. Have paper and pencil ready for an interactive activity at the end. 

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) established in 1996 in Long Beach, California, is the only museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art. MOLAA has played a pivotal role in showcasing the diverse and vibrant artistic expressions of this region, such as artworks by renowned artists like Tamayo, Matta, Cruz-Diez, Los Carpinteros, and Tunga. Through its exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives, MOLAA honors the richness and complexity of Latin American and Latino art while fostering dialogue and understanding within the community.

Leslie Jimenez is an education program manager and she holds a B.A in Art History and Cultural Anthropology and is currently pursuing an MA in Library Science. Her studio background lies in Photography and Indigenous Arts. She has dedicated her time to the humanities by educating inner-city youth and developing the MOLAA Research Library. 

Dr. Alison Heney is the VP of Learning and Public Programs at MOLAA with over 16 years of experience in designing and executing arts curricula for academic and community enrichment. 

This program was made possible by the collaboration of these libraries: Warren-Newport Public Library, Roselle Public Library, Tinley Park Public Library, Cook Memorial Public Library District, Wauconda Area Public Library, Wilmette Public Library, Ela Area Public Library, and Algonquin Area Public Library District.
