Exhibitions from the Quinn Gallery at Santa Monica History Museum
Explore the evolution of African American and intercultural food traditions in Southern California. Through the lens of shared meals, recipes and community gatherings, the exhibition examines how food fosters a sense of belonging, connection and cultural continuity.
The exhibition positions Vernon Brunson within the context of Black architects like Paul Revere Williams, showcasing his collaborations and highlighting his impact on the architectural landscape.
The Quinn Gallery is a partnership of the Santa Monica History Museum and the Quinn Research Center (QRC). The Quinn Gallery advances the museum’s commitment to inclusivity as we continue our mission to share the rich, diverse history of the Santa Monica Bay area.
The QRC is an archive of Black family history and Santa Monica Bay culture. Established by Carolyne and Bill Edwards, as a tribute to the legacy of Dr. Alfred T. Quinn, a prominent Santa Monica Black educator and community leader.
