Opened in 2022, it is the first museum dedicated exclusively to showcasing Chicano art and culture.
The collection includes works from over 70 Chicano artists, making it one of the most comprehensive collections of its kind.
This partnership was formed to create a permanent home for Marin's extensive Chicano art collection.
He has been collecting Chicano art for over 30 years, amassing one of the largest private collections in the world.
The building, which opened in 1964, was repurposed to house the art center, preserving its mid-century modern architecture.
These programs aim to educate the public about Chicano culture and art, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation.
Originally scheduled to open in 2021, the center's launch was postponed to ensure the safety of visitors and staff.
