The COLA 2024 Awards Exhibition opens Saturday, May 18, 2-4pm at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. COLA 2024 is an exhibition of new work by five Los Angeles-based artists, featuring dynamic installations of ceramic, sculpture, photography, video, painting, and drawing. They tend to keep the new work created for the purpose under wraps until the opening, but this year’s recipients of the Independent Master Artist Project (COLA/IMAP) grants in design and visual arts are an eclectic and seriously impressive group. Look for thoughtful installation and performance artist Jane Brucker, provocative filmmaker and installation artist Mariah Garnett, socially engaged photographer Janna Ireland, transdisciplinary environmentalist storyteller Debra Scacco, and boundary-pushing ceramicist Bari Ziperstein.
