Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge

June 18 – September 4, 2005

Chicano Visions is a celebration of Chicano art and life. By presenting the works of a range of the country’s celebrated Chicano and Chicana artists, the exhibit serves to advance and support the cause of establishing Chicano art as a recognized “school” of art, while helping inspire a new generation of artists and art enthusiasts in our communities, in our schools and in our families. Most of the works in this exhibition come from the collection of Cheech Marin.
