MOAH Exhibitions

The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce Imprints, an exhibition that interrogates California’s land use, water rights, and the consumption of natural resources – often at a pace greater than can be replenished. Imprints includes solo exhhibitions from six artists: Ann Diener, Charles Hood, Debra Scacco, Serena JV Elston, Sonja Schenk, and Terry Arena. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, May 11, 2024, through Sunday, August 11, 2024. 

As a fourth-generation descendant of a Southern California farming family, Ann Diener has a deep connection to the land and is fascinated with its continual state of change. Several years ago, while visiting her late grandparents’ farm, she was struck by how abruptly and significantly this land had changed. No longer was she able to recognize her old haunts or familiar landmarks; the crops and trees were gone, the roads were reconfigured, and fertile farmland was covered in a shroud of industrial farming operations.

The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce This Valley Is Sacred: The Ancestors Are Speaking, a multi-faceted exhibition sharing both the harsh realities and the beauty of Native existence as experienced by the tribal groups that call the Antelope Valley their ancestral home. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, May 11, 2024, through Sunday, August 11, 2024. In addition to the public reception held on Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 2 to 4 PM, a special public engagement event, Native Antelope Valley, hosted by our Native American Advisory Council will occur Sunday May 19, 2 to 4 PM.
