The Progress Gallery and Arteco Partners, in cooperation with Claremont Heritage, welcomes home recently acquired murals that were originally produced by the Millard Sheets studio in Claremont for the Buffums' Department Store that anchored the east end of the now famous Pomona Mall. The murals are paint on wood panels that depict the history of Pomona. In addition to the murals, other pieces produced by the Sheets Studio will be on display including mosaics and sculpture. Paintings by Millard Sheets will be included along with didactics produced by Claremont Heritage that tell the history of Pomona native. A short film of compiled interviews with Millard Sheets and Pomona Valley artists who worked with him will be shown on monitors within the exhibition. A small pop-up shop containing books, artwork, DVDs etc. relating to Millard Sheets and the artists he mentored will be open during the duration of the exhibit.
The exhibition will run through Saturday, January 1, 2019. Special Gallery hours for this exhibition: 3:00-8:00pm, Thursday, Friday & Saturday or by appointment.
