The Millard Sheets Center for the Arts, named for the artist Millard Sheets, is a gallery for Los Angeles-based artists which is located on the Pomona fairgrounds at Fairplex. [1] The Center was built in 1937 and is dedicated to art and artists solely from Los Angeles County. [2]

History

In 2013, the L.A. County Fair showcased the Center's collection of previously-un-exhibited works from approximately 60 artists that had previously had other works displayed at the Center. These works were pulled from the Center's storage facilities. [3]

In 2017, artists Judithe Hernandez and Patssi Valdez held an exhibition " One Path Two Journeys " during the L.A. County Fair, drawing 85,000 viewers. [1]
