By the end of the 80s\, our Museum was formally organized under the State of California as a not-for-profit public benefit corporation. \nThe Association acquired\, and still maintains\, a space in the LACo Fire Department Headquarters in Los Angeles\, storage units at the Department’s Air facility in Pacoima\, and a large warehouse in South Gate. Around the year 2000\, the Association rented an old auto repair shop from the city of Bellflower\, CA. This facility became the first public face for the Association and allowed us to open to the public for the first time. \nIn July of 2018\, the City of Bellflower became a partner with the Association. The showcase Museum is located on the bottom floor of Bellflower’s MAYNE EVENTS CENTER. The auto body repair building was purchased by The Association the same year and now houses the Los Angeles County Fire Museum’s “The Shop”\, the place where all the hard restoration work is now performed. \nMISSION STATEMENT\n\nCelebrate the history of the American Fire Service and the contributions made to that history by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.\nDocument and present the evolution\, history\, and impact of fire-based Emergency Medical Services.\nAcquire\, preserve\, and present artifacts\, apparatus\, photographs\, and documents\, along with other materials\, which assist in the presentation of our history.\nRestore antique fire apparatus to accurately reflect their respective histories.\n\n\n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nwww.lacountyfiremuseum.com/visit-us\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:THIS IS NOT AMERICA'S FLAG
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL EXHIBITION AT THE BROAD: MAY 21 – SEPTEMBER 25\, 2022\nFeaturing over twenty artists\, the special exhibition This Is Not America’s Flag spotlights the myriad ways artists explore the symbol of the flag of the United States of America\, underscoring its vast\, divergent\, and complex meanings. \nTitled after Alfredo Jaar’s iconic 1987 work\, A Logo for America\, This Is Not America’s Flag provides a critical discourse on the symbol’s meaning\, the complexity and contradictions of contemporary national identity\, and artists as active citizens. \nThe exhibition was developed conceptually in the summer of 2020 during the groundswell of activism for racial justice in the wake of the murders of George Floyd\, Ahmaud Arbery\, and Breonna Taylor and was inspired by two works in the Broad collection\, Flag (1967) by Jasper Johns and African-American Flag (1990) by David Hammons. \nThis Is Not America’s Flag presents works from over twenty artists including Laura Aguilar\, Nicole Eisenman\, Jeffrey Gibson\, Jaar\, and Johns\, as well as African-American Flag (1990) by Hammons acquired by The Broad in 2019 and America (2021) by Hank Willis Thomas\, acquired last year. The exhibition includes works that both embrace the flag as the signifier of the nation and its ideals and subvert it to express injustices and inequities woven into the fabric of the U.S.\, past\, and present. \n\nHighlighted Artwork\nAmerica\nHank Willis Thomas\n2021\nMixed media including US flags\n \n  \nAfrican-American Flag\n\nDavid Hammons\n\n\n1990\n\n\ndyed cotton\n\n\n59 x 92 1/4 in.

SUMMARY:The Getty Summer Concerts Series- OFF THE 405
DESCRIPTION:SELECT SATURDAYS THIS SUMMER- The Getty Center\nThe Getty Center presents OFF THE 405\, the Getty Center’s annual outdoor summer concert series\, bringing some of today’s most exciting bands to the stage for a memorable experience amid stunning architecture and breathtaking sunset views.\n\n\nLos Retros\nDate: Saturday\, July 9\, 2022\nTime: DJ set at 6 p.m.; Performance at 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Museum Courtyard\nAdmission: Free\, tickets required. Tickets available June 25\, 2022.\n\nLos Retros is a bedroom pop band helmed by Mauri Tapia\, a multi-instrumentalist from Oxnard\, CA. Making music since his early teens\, Mauri plays each instrument on his recordings and has grown a loyal fanbase via YouTube and Soundcloud\, as well as through local shows up and down the SoCal coast. Tracing his musical inspirations from both American and Latin American left-field pop and soft rock groups from the 1970s and 80s\, Los Retros pays homage to Chilean pop band Los Angeles Negros. Los Retros recently toured in support of Chicano Batman and has been hailed as one of “the most exciting new signees for influential Southern California label Stones Throw Records.” \nRead more: “Los Retros: Dreams of a Nostalgic Future\,” Remezcla. \nWatch: Los Retros – “Someone To Spend Time With” \n\n\nOther Performances Include:\n\nHand Habits\nDate: Saturday\, July 23\, 2022\nTime: DJ set at 6 p.m.; Performance at 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Museum Courtyard\nAdmission: Free\, tickets required. Tickets available July 9\, 2022 \n\nHand Habits is the songwriting outlet of guitarist Meg Duffy. Their recent album\, Fun House\, wasn’t intended as a reaction to the pandemic but was the result of taking a difficult\, if much-needed\, moment of pause. Produced by Sasami Ashworth (SASAMI) and engineered by Kyle Thomas (King Tuff)\, its eleven tracks sparkle and surprise\, representing the turning of a corner\, a means of processing hardship and stepping into one’s own power. Meg has also toured as a guitarist with Sylvan Esso and recorded on albums for War on Drugs\, Weyes Blood\, William Tyler\, Fruit Bats\, and others\, and in 2020\, Meg joined Perfume Genius as a touring guitarist. \nRead more: “Inside Hand Habits’ Fun House\,” Fader Magazine. \nWatch: Hand Habits – “Aquamarine” \n\n  \n\nStanding on the Corner\nDate: Saturday\, August 27\, 2022\nTime: DJ set at 6 p.m.; Performance at 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Museum Courtyard\nAdmission: Free\, tickets required. Tickets available 13\, 2022. \n\nThe New York collective Standing on the Corner often calls itself an “art ensemble\,” a moniker which helps outline its approach to music and performance\, while hinting at its creative roots and perspective. With composer\, conductor and co-founder Gio Escobar at the center of a constantly rotating band line-up that’s seldom the same for consecutive performances\, each of which might feature a radically different concept and repertoire\, SOTC moves freely yet decisively between jazz improvisations\, dub excursions\, garage-noise freak-outs and lo-fi hip-hop collage\, giving prescience to Hua Hsu’s observation that its music sounds like “field recordings from a vanishing city.” SOTC’s work is deeply wedded to this sense of place. Since they began operating in 2014\, its members\, predominantly Black and Caribbean with Escobar emphasizing his Nuyorican heritage\, have become key representatives of New York’s new inter-borough musical avant-garde\, part of a young creative Blackness vanguard. Just as the collective’s sound is in constant\, determined flux\, so are the mediums through which it’s presented: SOTC’s four albums-cum-mixtapes\, a couple of singles\, and occasional short-run films/video installations\, are as central to the group’s legend as its concerts and happenings\, which can take place in a club or DIY space\, at a museum or an art-house theater\, each carrying its own specificity of liberative intent. The constant in the group’s vision is a cultivation of changing aesthetics using the mindfulness of hip-hop natives\, making historical reappraisals through contemporary lenses\, and filtering both via the dignity of local community values. The reason Standing on the Corner has developed a seemingly wide cast of admirers—from underground jazz experimentalists and popular musicians\, to gallerists and curators—is the group’s clear illustration of these connections as a constant ingredient in the continuum of African Diasporic music. And a renewal of the idea that the “art ensemble” is the best way to get these ideas over. “Que Viva Puerto Rico Libre!” \nThis special iteration of the Off the 405 concert series celebrates Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop\, an exhibition that chronicles the dynamic creative exchange between a collective of photographers that began operating in 1960’s New York City\, who fused the energy of jazz and improvisation into their stylistically untethered approach to representing the African American experience. \nRead more about Standing on the Corner: “Meet Standing on the Corner\, the Post-Genre Crew Whose Music Speaks a Secret Language\,” Pitchfork. \n\nHours\nMonday: Closed\nTuesday – Saturday: 10:00am – 5:00pm\nSunday: 11:00am – 5:00pm \n\n\n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \ngetty.edu/museum/programs/performances/offthe405.html\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
