Voices Veteranos: Mexican America and the Legacy of Vietnam 2017
“Veteranos of Pomona: Local Stories of Latinos in the Military” is a youth-centered, community history project based on the stories of Latina/Latino military veterans and their families.
The result of a community-based partnership between Pomona College (Claremont, CA) and The dA Center for the Arts (Pomona, CA), “Veteranos of Pomona” begins as an effort to train local youth to conduct 30 oral histories with local Latinos veterans and their families, spanning the period of the Vietnam War to the present. These oral histories will then serve as the foundation for an interdisciplinary museum exhibit framing these stories as part of our collective past. Utilizing video, audio, and visual materials–including works of visual and performance art inspired by the stories–the exhibit will connect present-day Latino youth to living sacrifices of three generations of Pomona residents.

June 10-July 22, 2017 Tectonic Shifts: A Sense of Place, A Sense of Space
dA Center for the Arts is excited and proud to present Tectonic Shifts: A Sense of Place, A Sense of Space, an exhibition of paintings from Australia by ex-pat and former dA board member, Dovey Dee. Included in the exhibit are guest artists from the North American West Coast, Mary Beierle, Jyoti Duwadi and Rebecca Hamm. The exhibit opening with a reception at the dA, Saturday, June 10th 2017 6-9pm and will continue through Saturday, July 22nd.
Dovey’s paintings are an artist’s chronicling of the arid topography of Australia’s more sparsely populated regions. They are views of overwhelming vastness that hint at her homeland of the North American Southwest but of a greater magnitude. As the artist notes, “ The Australian continent is the oldest habitable land mass on earth providing glimpses of the geological future of our planet.”
Dovey Dee’s work can perhaps be seen as a cautionary note to North America, however her exhibit, first previewed in January 2017 at the Louis Joel Community Center and Gallery in Altona, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne Australia, was presented as a cultural exchange and Dovey’s primary intent was to relay the strikingly intense sense of space that the Australian landscape presents while she was finding her place in a new home.
Tectonic Shifts can also be viewed as the sense of place and space of two geographic locations becoming more similar by the moment.
Guest artists, Mary Beierle; (ceramic sculpture and video), Rebecca Hamm; (paintings and drawings), both are Southern California artists, and Jyoti Duwadi (photos) presently living in Bellingham Washington, originally from Katmandu Nepal, all offer a geo/cultural exchange of artists’ perceptions of the ever evolving terra firma they call home.

15th Annual Exhibit, “Aztlan: A Sense of Place” – Co Curators : Frank Garcia & Margaret Garcia Collectively, artists, tinkers, thinkers engineers, and urban planners will consciously construct creative solutions expressing voices of concern for our inherited and future Aztlan’s Sense of Place. By connecting imagination, tradition and technology, artists Leigh Adams, Art Carrillo, Jimmy Centeno, Margaret Garcia, Mario Guerrero, Naiche Lujan, Heather McLarty, Cathi Miligan, Frank Romero, Nancy Romero, Marc Salazar, Mario Trillo, Ivan Deavy Zapien and others will provoke an engaging dialog between individuals, communities, and institutions to enhance the LA/LA cultural map.
The Joan Weldon Gallery space will feature “Western Hemisphericals” a rotating curated invitational exhibit that will feature artist renditions / interpretations of who and what is a “Western Hemispherical”. Is identity based on geographical environment as opposed to racial origin. For example the people who have come to inhabit the southwestern part of the United States have most in common, a mostly arid climate and the flora and the fauna that come with it.
