For more than three decades, beginning in 1952, Millard Sheets created artworks to decorate Home Savings and Loan banks, studding their iconic properties with mosaics and murals. The images told a multiethnic and multicultural version of California’s history. Adam Arenson, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Texas at El Paso, has written extensively on these public/private artworks and will lead a bus tour to four mural locations in the San Fernando Valley that speak to the portrayal of Mexican Americans in public art. Includes box lunch.
Tour departs the Autry at 11:00 a.m.
Reservations required.
