(Pomona, CA) – The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) announces a new
exhibition, We the People: Serving Notice.
Our current political and social climate is arguably one of the more divisive and turbulent periods
in the past 50 years. There are feelings of anger, sadness, and fear ― but also of hope,
compassion, and unity.
Historically, museums have long been at the forefront of presenting and preserving our cultural
values through their exhibitions and collections. Artists have reflected and documented what is
happening in their communities and in society. Through their artwork, they have the opportunity
to encourage contemplation, conversation, and/or action on some of the most important issues
of our lifetime. With that said, AMOCA has invited artists from across the country to “serve
notice” on a range of issues including: capital punishment; environmental protection; freedom of
speech; government, gender equality; human rights; immigration; racism; wildlife protection; and
women’s rights.
Support for this exhibition is provided by:
Los Angeles County Arts Commission
