The Kinsey Collection Announces Exhibition at SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium will host Kinsey African American Art and History Collection in February

Tickets for the exhibition go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 28 and it will open to the public on Feb. 23.

In the early 1970s, Bernard and Shirley Kinsey settled into a little house off Crenshaw Boulevard in Inglewood. The couple, who met while attending Florida A&M University, shared a passion for traveling and collecting art. Through the years, the Kinseys have amassed a sizable collection of art and artifacts that has turned into a touring exhibition known as The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection.

After traveling to 35 cities across the United States and around the world over the past 15 years, the exhibition is coming back to the area and taking over a floor inside SoFi Stadium at Hollywood Park, less than a mile from the Kinseys’ first family home.

“It’s a full-circle moment for us,” Shirley Kinsey said during a walk-through of the exhibition, which is set to open to the public as a ticketed event on Feb. 23 and includes one-hour self-guided tours from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursdays-Mondays through April 2022. “It really feels like we’re coming back home.”
