MISSION & HISTORY
molaa's mission is to educate the public about contemporary Latin American fine art (by artists who have lived and worked in Latin America since WWII) through the presentation of a significant permanent collection, dynamic exhibitions and related cultural and educational programs.
The Museum of Latin American Art (molaa) in Long Beach, California was founded by Dr. Robert Gumbiner in November 1996. It is the only museum in the western United States that exclusively features contemporary Latin American art. Through the utilization of its permanent collection, traveling exhibitions, and programs, molaa educates a diverse Southern California audience about contemporary Latin American art.

___________________________________________________________
The museum is located in the newly developing East Village Arts District of Long Beach, California. Between 1913 and 1918 the site that the museum now occupies was the home of Balboa Amusement Producing Company, then the world’s most productive and innovative silent film studio. Before there was a Hollywood, Balboa was the king of the silver screen, producing as much as 20,000 feet of negative film a week. The building currently being renovated as molaa’s Entertainment / Education / Special Event venue may have been part of the old Balboa film studio. molaa’s exhibition galleries, administrative offices and store are housed in what was once a roller skating rink known as the Hippodrome. Built in the late 1920s, after the film studios were gone, the Hippodrome was a haven for skaters for four decades. The building then served as a senior health center for fifteen years. The high vaulted ceilings and beautiful wooden floors were perfectly suited for the Hippodrome's final metamorphosis into the Museum of
Latin American Art.

Hola Latin American ART, una invitaciôn para ustedes desde Francia: Semer le passé, récolter le présent Sembrar el pasado, cosechar el presente Cette exposition sera l'occasion de partager une perception culturelle du Mexique, mais surtout, d'échanger nos émotions et sensibilités sociales. Arrivé en France en 2004, Ivan Torres, originaire du Mexique, choisit la voie de la peinture pour entrer en communication avec la France. Au travers de ce langage visuel, chaque tableau est pour lui une mosaïque faite de rencontres, de lumières et d'émotions qui ne fait sens que par le regard que vous portez sur lui. Plongé dans l'univers de l'artiste, on ressent une joie communicative, immergé dans la chaleur et la gaîté de sa culture mexicaine.
