JULY 2020
As you may have heard, the State of California is requiring museums and some other kinds of indoor venues in Los Angeles County and eighteen other counties to remain closed at this time. This is tough news for everyone. Here at CAAM we have been busily preparing to welcome you back, including installing new exhibitions and implementing a series of health protocols to help deter the spread of COVID-19. For now, that work will continue as we look forward to seeing you when museums are allowed to reopen.

Even once our galleries are again open to the public, we will continue to offer public programs online for the immediate future. We hope you enjoy the selection of online events and resources we've put together for July, and we look forward to seeing you virtually in the coming weeks.
