From the HeArt, a solo exhibition by Inglewood-born contemporary painter and muralist AISEBORN opens at MAAA on Saturday, January 28, 2023, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. The exhibit will run from January 28 until April 30, 2023.
THE MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN ART (MAAA) in Los Angeles is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1976 by noted artist, art historian, author, and educator Dr. Samella Lewis. Since the early 1980s, the museum has been located on the third floor of the historic Streamline Moderne style building at 4005 Crenshaw Boulevard. The building first opened as a May Company department store in 1947, and it has been operated most recently by Macy’s as part of Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. The Museum of African American Art is the longest continuous occupant of the building at 4005 Crenshaw Boulevard aside from the founding May Company department store.
Macy’s is leaving. However, the historic building at 4005 Crenshaw Blvd. is staying, and so is the Museum of African American Art. The building where the museum is located has been under new ownership since August 2021. Under the BHCP Partnership, the landmark building at the intersection of Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards is expected to evolve into new uses that will benefit the community. The Museum of African American Art is NOT closing! We invite you to read the MAAA statement in response to Macy’s announced departure from its Baldwin Hills store location.
