InFormation: A Celebration of the Royal Chicano Air Force
January-June 2026
Organized by La Raza Galeria Posada, InFormation is a regional celebration of the Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF), a seminal collective of artists and activists founded in 1970 by Sacramento State art professors José Montoya and Esteban Villa, their students, and other community artists. Beginning in January and running through June 2026, fifteen art and literary organizations, including museums, galleries, library, and cultural centers in Sacramento, Roseville, Davis, and Woodland will present RCAF related exhibitions, artist panels, symposia, workshops, poetry readings, and film screenings. The name InFormation was chosen not only because it reflects the RCAF’s military humor and persona, but also references alignment and coordination along with communication and knowledge, which embodies the regional initiative.
Exhibitions and Programming
La Raza Galeria Posada’s partnership in RCAF exhibitions and programming at the Sacramento History Museum, Crocker Art Museum, and CSUS Library Gallery provided the catalyst for inviting other organizations to present their own RCAF-related programming. This unique and historic collaboration will showcase the impact of the RCAF collective’s “artist wing” on Chicana/o art and U.S. art history along with the cultural and political contributions of its activist members and community organizations. Featuring a cross-section of organizations and media, it will also bring attention to our region’s cultural vibrancy and the RCAF’s enduring spirit of art, activism, and community. La Raza Galeria Posada is proud to be part of this legacy, and has included a calendar page for InFormation exhibitions and events on their website.
