The W. Keith and Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery presents visual art exhibitions of significance to three specific communities:

- The greater Los Angeles area art communities.
The purpose is to bring to the campus and to the community carefully developed art exhibits that instruct, inspire, and challenge the viewer.
Most of the gallery's exhibitions focus on the evolving issues of contemporary art as practiced in Southern California. Special exhibitions bring attention to important national artists and issues of art historical/critical interest spanning ideological and cultural boundaries.
Like any good gallery, the W. Keith and Janet Kellogg Art Gallery has presented both objects of stunning visual beauty, and work that has challenged notions of what art is.

California African American Museum, Los Angeles
California African American Museum
600 State Drive
Exposition Park
Los Angeles, CA 90037
213-7844-7432
http://www.caam.ca.gov/
Tues-Sat: 10a-5p
Sun: 11a-5p
Free admission
Parking: $8
Entrance at 39th St and Figueroa
In addition to special exhibitions and events, CAAM has two main permanent collections focusing on Visual Arts and History.
The collection of nineteenth century academic and naturalistic landscape paintings include the works of Edward M. Bannister, Robert Scott Duncanson and Grafton Tyler Brown. Studying works by these artists and their lives help to broaden understanding of the participation of African Americans in American life and culture and help to understand the prevailing tastes and attitudes of a period when African Americans were viewed as inhuman and incapable of educational and aesthetic pursuits in life.
During the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, many African Americans attempted to redefine themselves in a modern world by establishing a national cultural identity in all of the arts. As they became familiar with African sculpture, they began to incorporate those elements and iconography into their work. Their artwork was also informed by twentieth century Cubism, which leads to the deconstruction and reorganization of forms so that their compositions are read from multiple vantage points.
Contemporary art from the African Diaspora is a small but growing collection and includes works from Haiti, Brazil and Jamaica. These artists are part of an international community of contemporary artists of African descent who combine techniques that may have historical precedence in European art, but have been reinterpreted within their particular cultural milieu.
African wood sculpture (mainly masks) forms a significant part of the collection. Most of the masks are from the West African countries of Nigeria, Ghana and the Côte d’Ivoire. There are also a number of works from the central African countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon. Along with the ceremonial masks are decorative household implements from across Sub-Saharan Africa. These works show the type of art historical context that African Americans participated in prior to coming to the United States. It was a context that was based on communal well being that encompassed ritual, mythology and cosmology that connected the people with their environment.
The History collection reflects the history, heritage and culture of African Americans in California and the Nation, thereby advancing the Museum’s commitment to promote the study of African American history and culture. Noteworthy objects include artifacts and photographs from the estate of the trailblazing golfer Bill Spiller; items from the estate of legendary jazz performer Ella Fitzgerald; theater programs highlighting the highly acclaimed performances of Katherine Dunham, Dorothy Dandridge, Duke Ellington, and Janet Collins; and artifacts and photographs from the estate of Los Angeles’ first and only African American Mayor Tom Bradley.
