Inspired by Angela Davis' Freedom is A Constant Struggle, the art exhibition Ordinary People transcends traditional art boundaries. The museum has tapped several L.A.-based organizations to serve as guest curators, each showcasing their art practices that emphasize community and support through social practice. Participating organizations include Crenshaw Dairy Mart, QUA – LGBTQ Ukrainians in America, Tlaloc Studios, AMBOS Project, People’s Pottery Project and Slanguage Studio. There's an AfterDark exhibition preview party on Friday, Oct. 6 from 7 to 10 p.m. (Admission is $20 per person.)
