The Long Beach Museum of Art is proud to present Scott Carrillo Azevedo’s first solo museum exhibition, The American Home—The Broken Promise. Please join us for an opening reception on Saturday, May 16, at LBMA Downtown. Opening night is free for all. RSVPs are encouraged. •Members Only: 5-7 pm •Public: 7-9 pm •See link in bio to RSVP & become a member About the Exhibition: Azevedo’s work reflects deeply personal and social histories of exclusion, particularly redlining in the Los Angeles area that impacted his family of Mexican heritage. These experiences have evolved into an artistic practice centered on reconstructing lost family histories through painting. After relocating from his home in Palm Springs to New Haven, Azevedo began incorporating imagery from vintage magazines such as The American Home to reimagine family narratives shaped by systemic racism, cultural erasure, and personal tragedy—including the early death of his grandparents. Ultimately, the work explores themes of identity, loss, and belonging. Through portraiture and disrupted domestic spaces, Azevedo creates metaphors for navigating life between cultures, informed by experiences of racial ambiguity, queerness, and economic hardship in America.

The Long Beach Museum of Art is pleased to present the opening of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: LBUSD High School Exhibition, an annual showcase of the talented young artists in our community.    This juried exhibition invited students from the Long Beach Unified School District to explore the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future. Through deeply personal and thought-provoking works, students reflect on the ways culture, ancestry, and identity shape who they are, the histories they carry, and the futures they imagine.   Curated by LBMA staff, this year’s exhibition features work by 59 outstanding high school students whose voices offer powerful perspectives on the world they have inherited, and the one they hope to create.   The exhibition will run through May 10th.    Generous support provided by the BCM Foundation and the John and Helen Apostle Foundation.

EXHIBITION OPENING: March 20, 2026. See link in bio to learn more and RSVP. The Long Beach Museum of Art is pleased to present Holding Time, an exhibition bringing together the work of Southern California artists Elyse Pignolet and MyungJin Kim, whose ceramic vessels function as platforms for storytelling, cultural heritage, and activism. While their visual languages and narratives differ, both artists move beyond the conceptual ceramic traditions established by Southern California. Instead, they return to historically rooted forms of vases, pots, tiles, and mirrors, using them as vessels to communicate personal and culturally resonant narratives.   Across their practices and mediums, botanicals and decorative motifs form a shared visual language. Floral ornamentation and natural imagery appear throughout their surfaces, creating layers of symbolism that explore themes of femininity, mythology, spirituality, cultural identity, and social history. These ornamental elements are not merely aesthetic; they act as visual frameworks through which the artists examine inherited traditions and contemporary experience.   Material also plays a central role in their practices. Pignolet works with a white clay body that references porcelain and its global history, drawing upon the familiar language of blue-and-white floral decoration to consider cultural exchange, colonial histories, and visual stereotypes embedded in decorative traditions. Kim, by contrast, works in terracotta, one of humanity’s oldest fired materials, embracing its deep historical associations with ritual, domestic life, and early forms of communication.   Together, their works reveal how traditional ceramic forms can hold contemporary narratives, bridging past and present through clay while reflecting the enduring human impulse to record stories through objects.

Through intimate studio footage, thoughtful interviews, and carefully selected archival material, the film invites viewers into Jacobs’s working process and highlights the curiosity, dedication, and imagination that shape his practice. The documentary’s patient and observant approach allows audiences to follow the evolution of individual works from early ideas to completed paintings. The approach celebrates Jacobs’s layered techniques and his ability to connect personal experience, cultural references, and visual storytelling. Rather than focusing solely on finished works, the film emphasizes the joy of experimentation, revision, and discovery, revealing how creativity unfolds over time. In doing so, it presents art-making as both a deeply reflective and genuinely joyful pursuit.

His work often focuses on creative communities and individual makers, highlighting the human stories behind artistic production.
