This month, LACMA gets to hang out with our older cousin, the LA County Fair! You Are Here: California Photography Now will open at the Millard Sheets Art Center, located at the Fairplex in Pomona, May 5–29: an overdue pairing of your two favorite Los Angeles County-isms!

Join us in celebrating image-makers who celebrate (or contest? redefine? blur?) the country-state of California (a.k.a. Kali Forno, Califia, Alta California). Over 30 lens-based artists cover a range of concepts and approaches, with a united emphasis on the experimental, which continues to be a defining aspect of California photography.
