LACE’s new group exhibition “A Tender Excavati LACE’s new group exhibition “A Tender Excavation” curated by Selene Preciado opens at the Luckman Gallery at CSULA on Saturday, November 1! Join us for the opening reception from 2–5 PM. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP at the link in our bio.

“A Tender Excavation” approaches research-based artistic practices through propositions of alternative histories, bringing together a group of artists that work with historical and familial photographic archives as a point of departure to construct new narratives and elicit transformation. Artists featured in the exhibition include Zeynep Abes, Susu Attar, Jamil Baldwin, Mely Barragán, Artemisa Clark, Arleene Correa Valencia, Mercedes Dorame, Prima Jalichandra-Sakuntabhai, Leah King, Tarrah Krajnak, Heesoo Kwon, Ann Le, Arlene Mejorado, Star Montana, and Camille Wong. “A Tender Excavation” is on view from November 1, 2025–February 21, 2026.

“A Tender Excavation” is made possible thanks to our friends at The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State LA. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Teiger Foundation.

Thank you for joining us last night at the 𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 Supporter Preview & Artist Celebration! ♡

We truly appreciate your encouragement of our work supporting emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers. With your generosity, we raised crucial funds for LACE’s operations and programming, which platforms artists and communities currently under attack including LGBTQ+, disabled, immigrant, and BIPOC individuals. With the dismantling of federal funding for the arts and humanities, support for LACE is as urgent and impactful as ever.

Final reminder that the 𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 Benefit Art Auction closes today at 12:00PM PDT (3:00PM EDT)! Bid at the link in our bio. Until next year ˖⁺‧₊⟡₊˚⊹
