Long Beach Museum of Art

The Long Beach Museum of Art will create and maintain digital assets focusing on the institution's permanent collection of works by women artists in California, mid-century to present. The museum will contract with a professional photographer to produce high resolution images of works by 271 artists in all media, including wood, enamel, painting, sculpture, photography, and artist books. Staff will conduct research and create biographical/contextual information about each work and artist. The project will result in free, online access to 515 digital images via the museum's searchable online web kiosk. The project will provide public access to nearly 70 years of artistic output by California women from 1950 to the present, thereby increasing its visibility and appreciation.
