Between 1940 and 1970\, the Bay Area’s own Black American population increased by nearly 300\,000. The Great Migration transformed the economic\, cultural\, social\, political\, and ecological makeup of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMITH & CO.: Fifty-Fourth Annual UC Berkeley Master of Fine Arts Exhibition\n\n\n\nClosing July 21\, 2024 \n\n\n\nA collaboration between BAMPFA and the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice\, MITH & CO. features exceptional works by this year’s MFA graduates. \n\n\n\nThe Barbro Osher Theater \n\n\n\nExperience the best of world cinema on the big screen in BAMPFA’s state-of-the-art theater\, including the following film series: \n\n\n\n\nHayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Cinema\n\n\n\nFilm Noir Classics: America’s Dark Dreams\n\n\n\nMade in Italy: Morricone\, Leone\, and More\n\n\n\nAnd much more!\n\n\n\n\nOther benefits include; \n\n\n\n\nUnlimited gallery admission and discounted film tickets (for two).\n\n\n\nFree admission to performances\, lectures\, and discussions with artists and filmmakers.\n\n\n\n\nSimply present your OMCA membership card at the Visitor Experience welcome counter and enjoy. \n\n\n\nQuestions or comments?\n\n\n\nPlease contact the OMCA Membership team at membership@museumca.org or 510-318-8520. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Courtesy of BAMPFA.
