Golden Hour: California Photography from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
February 19–May 14, 2022
Location: Main University Art Gallery
Cost: Free 

We are excited to share the news of Local Access, a new partnership made possible by a grant from the Art Bridges Foundation that will bring special exhibitions drawn from LACMA's collection to the California State University, Northridge, Art Galleries; Lancaster Museum of Art and History; Riverside Art Museum; and Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College. 

Local Access's inaugural exhibition, Golden Hour: California Photography from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, features works by more than 70 artists and three photography collectives, offering an aesthetic approach to understanding the complexities and histories of California. These images from LACMA's collection have come to define the myths, iconographies, and realities of this unique state. With works ranging from the early 1900s to present day, Golden Hour is neither a didactic history of the state nor an inclusive tale of photographic history, but rather artists’ impressions of the state of being in, and being influenced by, California.
