The Center Needs Partners!

Three Arts in Three Months celebrating 3 historic landmarks

For two years the Center has been building to possess the capability to produce marketable creative capital. Now these three interlocking festivals will fuel this community, both artistically and commercially. But, we need partners from the community itself to do it.

These festivals are designed to celebrate the importance and uniqueness of northeast Los Angeles, its history and its growing status as a leader in contemporary arts and culture. The Los Angeles Times has featured the Center seven times in the last four months, and the growth of our Center for the Arts mirrors and contributes to the growing recognition of the importance of the northeast. Our Center’s activities bring patrons to this community, and this helps the businesses, which in turn helps all our stakeholders.

We need you to support this three-month, three-art spectacular. What other community has a triangle of historic gems: the Eagle Rock, the Sylvan Amphitheater, and the historic Center itself. More important, reflected in all these events will be our history, and the community’s courage and conviction; even our location will be emphasized though lighting up the Eagle Rock itself.

Join our Councilmember Antonio Villaraigosa, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council, CalArts, Cultural Affairs, the Kaplan Foundation, and VPLEX in this effort! The Councilmember has given us the monies to purchase some (though of course not all) of the equipment necessary. We have the momentum and the spirit; the only things standing in the way are some of the operating and production costs.

This project will get attention, attention the Center and the community need in these difficult economic times. Now is the time to make an investment that will give returns not only for today but also for our children and grandchildren.

If you would like sponsorship or individual donation package, please call 323.226.1617. Thank you for your time and past support!
