For the tenth annual SoCal Museums \u201cMuseums-Free-For-All\u201d program, several of Southern California\u2019s most notable museums will be opening their doors to the public, free of charge, on Saturday, January 31. Over 20 museums, including the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach (MOLAA), will feature the arts and culture of the diverse and myriad communities of Southern California.<\/p>\n
The SoCal Museums \u201cMuseums-Free-For-All\u201d program is for general museum admission only and does not apply to specially ticketed exhibitions or parking fees. This is the first year that the program has partnered with Metro, in an effort to encourage visitors to \u201cGo Metro\u201d to explore their museum of choice, many of which are just a short walk away from Metro Bus or Rail.

Ashman, President and CEO of MOLAA, said, \u201c\u2018Museums-Free-for-All\u2019 is a wonderful initiative that allows museums in Southern California to demonstrate the importance they have for their communities. In addition to allowing all people to come in for free, it has become a regional celebration of museums and all of us who work in the cultural sector.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you can look forward to seeing at MOLAA on January 31, as well as Sunday, February 1, for Target Free Sundays. Say hello to an entire weekend of free Latin American arts and culture in Long Beach.<\/p>\n Esterio Segura\u2019s first solo exhibition in the U.S.<\/a> is an artistic expression of the Cuban-based artist\u2019s perspective on the country\u2019s current anxieties and its socio-economic and cultural state. The exhibition will be on display until February 22.<\/p>\n![\"FordPiquettePlant\"](\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FordPiquettePlant.png\")
