History

The L.A. Art Exhibition began with the donation of seven pieces of artwork by local artist and alumna, Mary Ham Hyun. In 1998, with the completion of the L.A. ARTproject , the University-Student Union purchased approximately thirty pieces of art by twenty four artists. The Board of Directors and Executive Director of the University-Student Union express the desire to increase the aesthetic and educational experience of the university by continuing to acquire original art. By doing so, the unique attributes of this ongoing collection attempt to capture the many dimensions of Angelino culture.
