LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes—LA Plaza—is an institution of stories that makes known the role of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and all Latinos in shaping the past, present, and future of Los Angeles. We share these stories through permanent and changing exhibits, educational initiatives, and a diverse range of public programming. LA Plaza has welcomed visitors to our historic campus near Olvera Street in the El Pueblo historic district of downtown Los Angeles since 2011. LA Plaza gathers and displays art, artifacts, and documentation that celebrate the rich origins, present influences, and future promise of all Latinos in the Los Angeles region. We present exciting performances, compelling exhibits, and thought-provoking discussions on a year-round basis. LA Plaza’s offerings include a wide range of programs in music, dance, films, art, history, culinary arts, topical events, nature, and much more. LA Plaza is about learning, doing, and inspiring. We collaborate with our communities and make our spaces available for public and private events. We help children, adults, and families to discover and appreciate our history of the city, presenting the stories of Latinos in a manner that is respectful, educational, and entertaining. LA Plaza is the place to begin your exploration of Mexican and Mexican American history of Los Angeles. LA Plaza has something to offer casual and curious visitors; elementary, high school and college students; and teachers and researchers alike. Our central location at El Pueblo de Los Angeles, the historical birthplace of the city, makes it an ideal place to plan and enjoy a full day of fun, art, culture, and history.
