Artist's Call: Art of California Labor
Monday, April 03, 2006

Here's an opportunity many working artists in California will not want to pass up.

The El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument has issued an Artist's Call for artworks that focus on the theme of California workers and their struggles. Accepted artists will have their art exhibited at the El Pueblo Art Gallery, located in the middle of LA's world famous Olvera Street, as part of a larger traveling exhibit organized by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA.) Here's the Artist's Call as issued: "From June 9 to August 14, 2006, El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument in collaboration with California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA) will present At Work: the Art of California Labor.

The exhibit examines the rich and tumultuous history of California's workers and their movements since the turn of the 20th century, from the rise of organized labor and the general strike of 1934 to the farm workers movement and effects of globalization. The exhibition, which is comprised of 31 original pieces of art and high quality reproductions, features the work of artists including Dorothea Lange, Tina Modotti, Diego Rivera, Emmy Lou Packard, Otto Hagel, and Ester Hernandez.

El Pueblo invites local artists wishing to participate in the exhibit to submit their work for consideration.

Submissions must pertain to California labor history and/or contemporary issues in California labor. Contact curator Marianna Gatto at 213.485.8432 or mariann.gatto@lacity.org. Intentions to submit must be received by April 24, 2006.

"Artists whose works are accepted will have their art integrated into the Olvera Street showing of CERA's traveling exhibition, At Work: The Art of California Labor. The remarkable exhibit was first developed by the California Historical Society and the San Francisco State University Fine Arts Gallery back in January of 2003. A beautiful 176 page catalog book for the exhibit, details the history of artists who created works on the theme of labor in California.
