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 a multi-generational talent. Widely acknowledged as a cultural icon, he is perhaps best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent, satirical, counterculture comedy duo Cheech and Chong. In addition to a successful life in entertainment, Cheech Marin is recognized today as a preeminent advocate for Chicano art. In the mid-1980s, he began developing what is now arguably the finest private collection of Chicano art. He states, “Chicano art is American art. My goal is to bring the term ‘Chicano’ to the forefront of the art world.”
