The Hammer Museum will once again be a vote center for next week’s special election on Nov. 4. Come during the museum’s open hours and spend some time enjoying the 7th edition of the Hammer’s popular Made in L.A. biennale. While you’re there, take some time to cast a vote for your favorite work as part of The Mohn Awards. Funded through the generosity of Los Angeles philanthropists and art collectors Jarl and Pamela Mohn, one artist in the Made in L.A. exhibition will receive a $25,000 Public Recognition Award based on visitor voting. In 2023, the award went to UCLA alum Jackie Amézquita for her piece “El suelo que nos alimenta,” a unique work that combines soil from across Los Angeles neighborhoods with corn masa, limestone, salt and copper to create sculptures on memory, collectivity and transformation.
