Opening Nov. 21, we're excited to present "Francis and Anthony Almendarez: Navigating the Archives Within, Vol. 2." ⚡

In their ongoing film and performance series, artists Francis and Anthony Almendárez examine how Latinx communities are represented and misrepresented across American film, television, music, and digital media. Developed from their vantage point as brothers whose family roots span Central America and the United States, they use sound and place to illuminate the broader forces that inform individual and collective identity.

The exhibition builds upon the series, focusing on music as a living cultural archive shaped by transnational exchange and commodification across the entertainment industry. As the Almendárez brothers sift through a century of musical forms rooted in Indigenous and Afro-Caribbean rhythms and syncretic practices, they ask: Where does “Latin music” emerge, and how has it influenced understandings of Latinidad around the world?

Make plans to join us for the opening reception on Saturday, Nov. 21! 📆

"At the opening of “The Buddhist Bug” at the Vincent Price Art Museum on Saturday, guests will see a 328-foot-long orange insect. Its body will coil around the museum’s gallery, lobby and atrium, and poke through the walls. The bug’s head, covered in a hijab, will be in one room, and its feet, which some might be tempted to tickle, will be in another."

Read all about our new exhibition in the Los Angeles Times and then make plans to join us Saturday at the "Anida Yoeu Ali: The Buddhist Bug" Opening Reception! 🧡

Performance artist Anida Yoeu Ali's exhibit, 'Anida Yoeu Ali: The Buddhist Bug,' features a 328-foot-long performance installation of an orange bug that explores race, religion, feminism and immigration, and will weave in and out of the gallery rooms.

🕸️ Join us at the spookiest museum in East L.A.! 🕸️ You're invited to a special after-hours celebration in honor of our first and greatest patron, "Museum on Haunted Hill: A Celebration of Vincent Price."

Horror icon Vincent Price was not only an actor, he was an art collector, advocate, and historian. In 1957, at the height of his career, he donated 90 pieces from his art collection to East Los Angeles College (), helping to establish the Vincent Price Art Gallery. Today, that ‘teaching collection’ has grown to over 7,000 artworks, and that classroom gallery is now the three-story, six-gallery Vincent Price Art Museum. 🖤

During the evening, enjoy casual screenings of classic Vincent Price films, a costume party, food, drinks, music, a photobooth, and nighttime access to our current exhibitions. 🪦

We encourage you to dress as your favorite classic horror character or in a Vincent Price-inspired look! 💀

Tickets are only $50 per guest, but FREE for VPAM Members, as part of the museum's brand-new membership program! 🦇

On Saturday, Sept. 26, join us as we celebrate the opening reception and performance of “Anida Yoeu Ali: The Buddhist Bug!” 🐛

During the afternoon, artist Anida Yoeu Ali will offer two live performances as “The Buddhist Bug,” a creature who —using humor and absurdity—seeks to initiate conversations about topics regarding otherness, foreignness, and religious identity. The constructed garment is rooted in Ali’s own diasporic identity and responds to her spiritual turmoil between Islam and Buddhism. Its bright orange color is the same one worn by Buddhist monks, and represents Cambodia’s profound Buddhist culture, while the cloth that tightly encircles the Bug’s stoic face represents both the hijab worn by some Muslim women, and the ethnic minority of Cham Muslims to which Ali and her family belong.

The event will open with a blessing ceremony, a traditional Cambodian dance performance, and Ali’s anticipated performance.

🔸 Guests are encouraged to wear orange in solidarity with the artwork and themes of “The Buddhist Bug.” Viewers are also welcome to actively witness, interact, and engage with the Bug within their own comfort level. 🔸
