"This exhibition is a timely reminder that we should be aware and confront racism, rather than standby and watch it happen again." - Gail Enns

Join exhibition curator Gail Enns on a narrated walkthrough of "Shadows from the Past: Sansei Artists and the American Concentration Camps.” This exhibition shares the stories of eight third-generation Japanese American artists whose work confronts the painful history endured by many Japanese Americans during and after WWII. Featured artists include Jerry Takigawa, Masako Takahashi, Reiko Fujii, Wendy Maruyama, Tom Nakashima, Lydia Nakashima Degarrod, Lucien Kubo, and Na Omi Judy Shintani.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this momentous exhibition in-person, on view at MMA Pacific Street through January 9th, 2022.

Celebrate Generosity with Us!

Thanks to our community of supporters, over the past several weeks we have raised just over $52,000 of our $100,000 Monterey County Gives fundraising goal. With that, on this international day of generosity, we humbly ask for your GivingTuesday support to help us reach our goal so that we are able to build back our dedicated team of staff, upgrade our systems to enhance experiences for visitors and members, and advance care for our collection. Your generosity has the power to make a positive change in the lives of many in our community.

Special for GivingTuesday! Today, through December 3rd, to celebrate generosity, we will give a complimentary copy of Karen Halverson’s “Mulholland” to the first 10 donors who make an MCGives donation to MMA in the amount of $500 or more! Limited supply. Also, don’t forget, a portion of every donation made to MMA through MCGives is matched by the MCGives partners—so your donation goes even further! We thank you so much for your support. 💕

Why do we share art? Art heals. It improves the health and well being of both artist and viewer. Recently, the artists from our current exhibition, Shadows from the Past: Sansei Artists and the American Concentration Camps, spoke about how the process of making their artworks was a process of healing from the generational hurt and trauma caused by EO 9066. One of the artists shared with us, “Art is a mirror, an opportunity for self-reflection—and a window, to a better world. EO 9066 was a dark chapter in American history that injured its victims and succeeding generations in ways both seen and unseen. Art seems to bypass the brain and lodge directly in the heart. It illuminates the past to help us see where we’ve been.”

We thank everyone who has helped us raise over $45,000 of our $100,000 fundraising goal. With that, we still need your support to reach our goal in order to increase and enhance our arts programming for improved health. When you make a donation through MCGives, a portion of your donation is matched by the MCGives partners! Thank you so much for your support, and we wish you a healthy and artful holiday. ❤️
