Arte Para la Gente

At the Museum of Ventura County
Runs through Spring 2022

Arte Para la Gente is a retrospective exhibition featuring the work of pre-eminent Chicana artist, Margaret Garcia, as she provides viewers with the look at her vast body of work that captures and encapsulates culture, family, and urban life

Over the past four decades, Margaret Garcia has been a leader in the L.A. Chicano Art Movement, championing women, community, and those individuals who are marginalized by society. As a teacher and mentor, Margaret has inspired and encouraged artists to challenge their talents. Her students are encouraged to reach into their souls and create art that is authentic to self, and reflects their passion for the subjects they are painting. Many of those artists have emerged and found their unique voices in their artwork. Her most recent works, many shown here for the first time, were painted in Ventura County. Arte Para la Gente is on display at the Museum of Ventura County from November 11, 2021 to Spring 2022.
