The Brockman Gallery in Leimert Park was the center of a community of Black artists from 1967-1990.
Founded during the heyday of the Black Arts movement and two years after the Watts uprising, it would
go on to feature artists that included Betye Saar, Noah Purifoy and John Outterbridge. The Brockman
Gallery ushered in a new era of Black artists, helping them penetrate the mainstream art world.
