Join us for the annual Atkins Lecture, An Evening with Cheech Marin: Perspectives of a Chicano Art Advocate.A paradox in the world of entertainment, Cheech Marin is an actor, director, writer, musician, art collector, humanitarian, and multi-generational talent who rose to prominence as one half of the counterculture comedy duo Cheech and Chong.
In the mid-1980s, Marin began developing what is arguably the finest private collection of Chicano art. Today, he’s recognized as a preeminent advocate for Chicano art and the driving force behind The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture. He states, “Chicano art is American art. My goal is to bring the term ‘Chicano’ to the forefront of the art world.”
