Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) is a place that unites art, community and culture through creative discovery, exploration, and enlightenment. The Center provides the Southern California community with a year-round schedule of gallery exhibitions, cultural events and community classes. Angels Gate provides quality arts programming to over 20,000 visitors each year, and over the last 20 years, we have grown the classrooms served by our Artists-in-Classrooms (AIC) program from 10 to over 100 in LAUSD. The Center emerged from a group of San Pedro artists in the 1970’s that created artist studios and exhibition space within the 1940’s era Army barracks of Angels Gate Park. After 40 years, the Center provides professional work-studio space for 52 artists, including musicians, ceramists, painters, sculptors, writers, photographers, printmakers and jewelers.

Angels Gate Cultural Center is committed to thoughtful cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion within all facets of the organization: leadership, artists, programming, and community engagement. We strive to provide opportunities for all people to participate in creative expression, discovery, and exploration, including, but not limited to, indigenous people, racially and ethnically diverse individuals, and community members from all socio-economic backgrounds. AGCC believes that when the arts are truly accessible and culturally inclusive, they are a catalyst for community belonging and positive change.
