Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 8/10/21 – At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, August 10th, 2021 celebrated Latino actor and activist Edward James Olmos kicked off a ribbon cutting for the Vogue Multicultural Museum, the latest avant-garde installment in Hollywood. Olmos was joined by Marcela Celorio, the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles. Also present were Ana Martinez, the Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, as well as producer Diego Gonzalez and designer Mitzy.
Many of those present spoke approvingly of the new museum’s multicultural mission. “It should offer the community a much broader range than most museums,” observed Edward James Olmos.
