The article reports on the exhibition "Act on It! Artists, Community, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles," currently on view at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History through August 31, 2025, before traveling to the Vincent Price Art Museum and CSU Dominguez Hills in 2026. Organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the show revisits the legacy of the Brockman Gallery, founded in 1967 by brothers Alonzo Davis and Dale Brockman Davis in Leimert Park. As one of the first Black-owned commercial galleries on the West Coast, it provided a vital platform for Black artists during the Black Arts Movement, showcasing early works by figures such as Betye Saar, David Hammons, John Outterbridge, Charles White, Noah Purifoy, and Doyle Lane. The gallery also expanded into a nonprofit cultural hub through Brockman Gallery Productions, offering residencies, film festivals, and jazz concerts.
The LAX Art Program, operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), has issued a call for muralists to create large-scale artworks for display in the terminals of Los Angeles International Airport. Up to ten finalists will be selected and awarded commissions ranging from $14,000 to $38,000, with murals to be installed for a minimum of two years. The initiative, part of the broader Meet Me at the Mural project, is open to professional artists, artist teams, and curators residing in Southern California, with proposals due by July 30, 2025.
