Torrance ART + FILM LAB August 7 - September 6



Planning on attending MAS Attack? Don't forget your Name Badge!!

TAMA Members!!  Be sure to pick up your reusable name badge the next time you are at the TAM!  Please wear it proudly at events, openings or whenever you're at the museum.  It's a great conversation starter.  Applications for TAMA membership are kept at the TAM Front Desk. 

We are going to eliminate the PayPal online feature for now until we can work out a few glitches.  However, the TAM is working on a new website (sneak peek looks AWESOME!) and we hope for there to be a link for donations that will filter to TAMA for TAM use.

Thanks again to everyone who has joined and supported us as we continue to grow and evolve!! 

See you at MAS Attack!

art:21 Film Discussion on July 19th!!

The TAM has recently partnered with PBS to host screenings of art:21, the premiere television series highlighting contemporary art and artists in the 21st century.

The next screening will be held on Saturday, July 19th from noon to 1 p.m. 

In conjunction with their current exhibition Watchmen: Surveillance and the Flaneur, the TAM will be screening art:21 season 4 - Protest.  In this episode we will join three artists as they engage in politics, inequality, and the many conflicts that besiege the world today and use their work to discus or oppose misery, turmoil and injustice. 

Guests are invited to join the post-screening discussion on the film's artist, the art they make and how it relates to the TAM exhibition.

This event is FREE and open to the public. 

Due to the nature of contemporary art, subject matter in the film may not be suitable for some; viewer discretion is advised.
