Three Exhibitions Open Today at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles, Led by a Colombian Artist's First Los Angeles Solo Show
Craft Contemporary, at 5814 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, opens three new exhibitions on November 15, following an opening reception on the evening of November 14. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed Monday and Tuesday.
The lead show is Vandalismo Artesanal by Colombian artist, professor and musician Carlos Castro Arias, on view through May 2, 2027 and curated by Frida Cano; it is his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The works set bronze busts in the memorial and monument tradition against Colombian weaving and beading: busts of Conquistadores are encircled by basketry, and some works become vessels holding seasonal produce freely available to visitors.
Also opening is the group exhibition Embers of Generational Memory, on view through May 9, 2027 and curated by Marvella Muro, presenting the nine fellows of the California Community Foundation's 2026-2027 Fellowship for Visual Artists, including Eva Aguila, Kimberly Robertson, noé olivas, Carol Zou and Reynaldo Rivera.
The third project is the Maker-in-Residence program: Laboratorio Fuego Medicinal by Meztli Projects, led by Joel Garcia, runs through May 9, 2027 and explores fire as a ritual and material force through conversation and live demonstrations. All three belong to the museum's elemental exhibition cycle, this round devoted to fire.
