The museum is named after American actor Vincent Price who donated portions of his personal art collection to the college in 1957.[2] The museum's collection now contains over 9,000 objects ranging from impressionist paintings to Japanese prints to objects from the Ancient Americas, 2,000 of which were donated by Price.[3]
It has been a venue for underrepresented artists since its founding, organizing key solo exhibitions for Los Angeles-based artists including Laura Aguilar, Carlos Almaraz, Nao Bustamante, Rafa Esparza, Judithe Hernández, Manuel López, Star Montana and Shizu Saldamando.[4][5]
In 2014 the museum presented Who Cares Wins!, a solo exhibition for L.A. artist Michael C. Hsiung. The installation showcased more than one-hundred ink drawings, paintings, and other related mixed-media works featuring the artist's signature graphic style, iconography, and wit.
