The Benton Museum of Art's fall exhibitions include "Line, Smudge, Shade: Contemporary Drawing in Our Los Angeles" (Aug. 21, 2025–Jan. 4, 2026). Shown is Carly França's Home, made from charcoal and a plaster wall recovered from the Eaton fire. The Altadena artist lost her home and studio.
"Line, Smudge, Shade" will be accompanied by a mural-size commissioned drawing by Manuel Lopez and a show of vintage digital art, "Two-Way Stretch: Electronic Drawing in Early Animation and Computer Art."

Also on view this fall is the first substantial exhibition of a collection of 20th century woodblock prints donated to Pomona College in 1959. It was a gift of Margaret Culley Hamilton and Mary Culley Lund, daughters of British collector John H. Culley. "An Unruly Assembly: Selections from the Culley Collection of Woodblock Prints" will show about 85 of the 187 prints in the collection and will be accompanied by a catalog incorporating recent research. The collection includes well-known German Expressionists as well as lesser-known European and American artists who participated in the 20th-century revival of woodblock printing.
