DON'T MISS LAURIE SIMMONS: BIG CAMERA/LITTLE CAMERA
Through May 5, 2019
This major fourth floor exhibition presents four decades of photography by pioneering American artist Laurie Simmons, who uses photography to deconstruct archetypal gender roles and upends the American dream of prosperity.
GENDER PAY GAP ADMISSION
In honor of Simmons's activism to expose inequality across the lines of gender, sexuality, and race, the MCA is offering $12 admission to any visitor who has been affected by the gender pay gap during the exhibition. $12 is about 81% of the regular $15 suggested admission price, which represents the average gender pay gap that women experience in the US. This percentage was determined using data from the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
