SAMMY PACE ARTIST EXHIBIT
In the 1970s, Sammy Pace was one of the premier fighters on the tournament circuit. A member of the Black Karate Federation (BKF), Sammy tore up the competition and won championship after championship. But Sammy had another passion as well, art. Through the years, Sammy became known as one of the most-after artists in the world. His work has appeared throughout the Rapid Transit Authority, public events, the Playboy Jazz Festival, the Watts Tower Festival, and many more. He has done artwork for such notables as Nancy Wilson, Poncho Sanchez, Eddie Palmarie, and more. This will be a spectacular evening as his artwork will be spread around the museum, plus a time on stage with a one-on-one Q&A talk about his work and to top it off, an auctioning of one of his pieces to support the museum.

WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE MUSEUM
We are thrilled to report that things are really moving forward for the new location of the Martial Arts History Museum. We found a place, all looks good, we are just waiting for the paperwork and approval from the city of Glendale, CA. It's almost 4x our current size so we will be a very nice sized facility. In the meantime, we are going to need additional walls, displays, podiums, art, etc., so please consider now more than ever, making a donation to our $5 Million fundraiser.
$5 to $5 MILLION FUNDRAISER
As we are in the midst of final negotiations for our new location, we are going to need more walls, display cases, artwork, etc. So, we ask that you give to support this great cause, having a museum for all to enjoy.
