Legacy On Central: An Art Group Exhibition

Legacy On Central is a group exhibition presented during Black History Month inside the historic Dunbar Hotel at Delicious at the Dunbar in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together leading contemporary artists whose practices engage memory, identity, and cultural continuity within a site central to the city’s Black cultural history.

Curated by Omar Holguin, founder of La Mancha Gallery, the exhibition reflects an ongoing curatorial commitment to connecting historic context with present day artistic production. Holguin’s exhibitions position art as a tool for cultural dialogue, placing contemporary voices in meaningful relationship with place and legacy.

Legacy On Central features work across photography, painting, and mixed media. Each artist contributes a distinct visual language while participating in a shared conversation about Black artistic leadership and creative lineage. The exhibition situates contemporary practice within the historic environment of Central Avenue, once a vital corridor of Black intellectual, musical, and artistic life.

Presented inside the Dunbar Hotel, a landmark that served as a gathering space for Black artists and thinkers during segregation, the exhibition establishes a direct dialogue between past and present. Rather than functioning as a static monument, the site becomes an active cultural space where history informs living artistic expression.
