DCA to Present Barnsdall Arts Center & Junior Arts Center's SYNTHESIS, Teaching Artists Exhibition

The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) is presenting Barnsdall Arts Center (BAC) and Junior Arts Center's (BJAC) Synthesis, teaching artists exhibition and Reopening Celebration. The exhibition presents the breadth of individual teachers' personal works related to and not related to their teaching focus by previous and current BAC and BJAC teaching artists. Additionally, the event marks the reopening of the Arts Center's closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the three years that followed, and the facility's construction. The Center, its Teaching Artists, students, families, and visitors alike, create a unique environment that marries new experiences to this creative community's history.

Barnsdall Arts Center, Junior Arts Center, and BJAC Gallery will host an opening reception Saturday, July 20, 2024, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m., at Barnsdall Junior Arts Center Gallery, located at 4814 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90027. Anticipated is a schedule of art-making activities, artists conversations and music performances, and open studios where students and families can meet teaching artists.
