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