Rancho Los Cerritos receives Port of Long Beach sponsorship to support Untold Legacies Exhibit Programming
LONG BEACH, California – The Port of Long Beach awards Rancho Los Cerritos (RLC) a $10,000 sponsorship for a dynamic series of programs in support of its well-received exhibition, Untold Legacies: Rethinking the American Cowboy. This series includes three artist-led workshops and a celebratory Cowboy Festival, designed to honor the partners of the exhibition and share the artistry and culture of cowboys with our community.
“Our intended audience includes visitors of all backgrounds. These programs and events are offered at a low cost to ensure accessibility for all those interested in participating,” commented Alison Bruesehoff, RLC Executive Director. “The festival also serves as a celebration of Juneteenth and the contributions of our exhibit partners, further deepening community connections and cultural appreciation.”
Artist workshops are designed for individuals aged 13 and older, students, and anyone interested in history and contemporary art. These hands-on workshops are thoughtfully designed to enrich the experience for participants. The Cowboy Festival will be geared towards audiences of all ages. “Through a partnership with nonprofit Urban Saddles, we are broadening our reach to include their audience, visitors from inner-city Los Angeles, and guests who might not otherwise have known about the Rancho,” stated Bruesehoff.
The mission of RLC, a recognized National, State and Local Historic Landmark is to, honor diverse perspectives, enrich collaborative conversations, and inspire broader understanding through stewardship of Rancho Los Cerritos’ natural and cultural history. With a vision to cultivate an inclusive and sustainable world by exploring the historical connections between people and Rancho Los Cerritos the site welcomes visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
