The Underground Museum

This was started by Noah Davis, an artist and close friend of mine who passed away. A group of people got together to keep the place going. The skew of the museum is to show primarily African-American art. They have a deal with MOCA to curate well-known and lesser-known art from their collection. Definitely one of Los Angeles’ most important spaces. The Museum also serves as a great community center in Crenshaw. There isn’t a lot of access to art in the area, and a bunch of kids from the neighborhood work on site. They do film screenings and have a fantastic library and gift shop, so be sure to browse.
