About TAM

The Torrance Art Museum is located at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center in the City of Torrance. It is a program of the Cultural Services Division of the City of Torrance Community Services Department. The Cultural Services Division is responsible for City-sponsored arts and cultural initiatives held at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center and throughout the City.

The Museum encourages all people to develop and increase their understanding and appreciation for modern and contemporary artwork via a variety of exhibitions offered in its two gallery spaces, as well as educational programs, artist talks, lectures, and symposia.

Through its emphasis on contemporary artistic expression in Southern California and globally, the Torrance Art Museum brings together visual artists and community members; fosters personal and civic well being by inspiring understanding and appreciation of the visual arts; promotes meaningful experiences in the arts to strengthen creative and critical thinking skills; and builds bridges between the visual arts and other disciplines in the humanities and sciences.

RE:CUT
RE:CUT features video artists that play with appropriation, cinema, and the imagined space created within video and film. By deconstruction and re-imagining footage that has already had a life in the world, these artists expand the familiar into new, multi-faceted installations and singlechannel videos. Chris Coy, McLean Fahnestock, Valerie Green, Masood Kamandy, William Kaminski, Michael Kelly, Zach Kleyn, Owen Kydd, Lisa Madonna, Jesse McLean, John Pearson, Fil Ruting, Nicole Sloan, Joe Sola
