The Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles through its Mexican Center for Culture and Cinematic Arts, is pleased to bring together visual artists 35 and under in the County of Los Angeles (greater Los Angeles area) to the annual 35 x 35 Exhibition.

 

The purpose of this exhibition is to provide a platform to present the work of emerging visual artists residing in the Los Angeles area, while also providing opportunities for creators to meet and interact with other young art professionals.

 

This year the central theme will be “the border”, so we invite young artists to reflect the meaning of the border in their life experiences, the impact it has, as well as their perception of the concept of the border.
