Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The Torrance Art Museum Advocates aims to support the financial needs of the Torrance Art Museum Curator and staff. With our financial support they are able to fund established and emerging artist stipends, artist-in-residency programs locally and abroad, site-specific installations, shipping costs for artists' work, and ultimately infrastructure (portable walls).
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
TAMA TALKS
TAMA TALKS are virtual format discussions where the topic is....art! Learning from artists, curators, and educators about art and the world of art! TAMA TALKS are interactive sessions created to gain new perspectives on artists and their work. Participants are encouraged to engage during the conversation through chat or via the live Zoom video feature. The goal of these talks is to broaden the understanding of artists and to expose viewers to artists with whom they may not be familiar.
