Art matters now more than ever. Through creative and dynamic exhibitions and public art installations featuring artists from around the world, SLOMA challenges the status quo, sparks lively conversation, and pushes the boundary of artistic expression.
With art ranging from contemporary masterpieces to thought-provoking work by emerging talents, exhibitions at SLOMA provide a safe space to discover how art can transform, heal, and empower communities.
