A Martha Longenecker-Roth Legacy

This exhibition celebrates the life and legacy of Martha Longenecker-Roth, and her historic impact on the visual arts in San Diego and beyond. Martha’s passionate commitment to meaningful cross-cultural exchange, long before it became widely fashionable, led her to found the Mingei Art Museum and established its permanent home in San Diego’s Balboa Park. The stated mission of the museum–to bring the “art of the world, art of the people” to everyone–came from Martha’s own lived experience.
