2018 Going Forward

The Museum hopes all its visitors, students, and members will surpass the recent fire and flood emergencies to face a bright New Year. Art can ease feelings, be a vacation from woes and point to new directions. So the Carnegie is gearing up with a new season of gallery talks, children’s art classes, Family Days, the Jackson Wheeler Poetry Series, a CAM Studio photo project and exhibits. Please remember the Museum in your contributions to make such a year possible.

Also, good news the ever-surprising LA Art Show is at the LA Convention Center now thru January 14 and twenty galleries at Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station are staying making it a vibrant complex next to the Metro under a new name. You may recognize artists there you first saw at Carnegie.
