With the collective heartbreak our city experience

With the collective heartbreak our city experienced at the beginning of 2025, LAND’s board hosted a family meal to bring together some of our recent artists, collaborators and supporters. 💐 We’re so grateful to everyone that has been a part of LAND these past 15 years—we can’t wait for the next chapter.

A big thank you to @colesternberg for opening his studio, and to @baloorozco for catering. Photos by @ginaclyne.

Join us on Saturday, March 22 from 12-3PM for the opening celebration of “LAND DREAMS,” the first major public project by 2024 Mohn LAND grantee Lizette Hernandez (@lizette_hernandez._).

The artist will exhibit seven, large-scale ceramic works within the landscape of the Exposition Park Rose Garden from March through June 2025. The sculptures combine the texture and form of naturally occurring rock formations or grottoes, while simultaneously replicating the look and form of religious nichos—vernacular communal altars meant to venerate saints or the Virgin Mary.

The ceramic sculptures included in “LAND DREAMS” will incorporate smaller ceramic pieces made by community members invited to four workshops hosted by the artist at her studio, illustrating a shared imagining of possible futures and “new ways of living.” The works in the garden will be in dialogue with the park’s roses and historic fountain, as well as the two museums which border it.

The opening celebration, happening March 22 from 12PM-3PM, is free and open to the public. Link in bio to RSVP.

Join us on Sunday, March 16 from 2-4PM for a celebration of “Field Permits,” a project by 2024 LAND Mohn Grant artist Vincent Enrique Hernandez (@vincent.e.hernandez). We will gather at Albion Riverside Park in Lincoln Heights, where the artist will talk about the work with project curators Bryan Barcena and Irina Gusin.

“Field Permits” is a work of civic institutional critique taking place over 16 successive Sundays on a soccer field at Albion Riverside Park in Downtown Los Angeles. Every Sunday, through April 6, 2025, and from 2 to 4 pm, Hernandez invites the public to access a soccer field, and engage with it as they see fit. Hernandez, born and raised in Los Angeles, and an avid amateur soccer player, has a deep interest in the ways that public space is mediated by city organizations, which often create unnecessary burdens and hurdles that prevent communities from accessing and utilizing recreational third spaces in their own neighborhoods.

Free to attend. Tap the link in our bio to RSVP.
