Organization Summary
For more than 20 years, our artist-run, multi-generational community space has provided access to the arts in Northeast LA, serving as an incubator for diverse, grassroots public programming. Some of our core programs include Community Arts—an ongoing series of artist-led projects; our Artist-in-Residency program; Community Band; and Community Arts—a weekly all-ages band and arts workshop that happens on Saturdays outside in the park. We have ongoing music, art, and movement classes during the week and ongoing art exhibitions.
