LINCOLN HEIGHTS JUNIOR ARTS CENTER is OPEN!
Read about it on the Eastsider
“The Lincoln Heights Junior Arts Center is part of the Lincoln Heights Youth Center complex, a renovated 2-story church building constructed in 1930 with subsequent additions built in the 1970’s. The complex houses four components: an outdoor roller hockey rink, a boxing gymnasium, a youth center, and a junior arts center; and is jointly operated by the Department of Recreation and Parks (DRP) and DCA. The complex has approximately 9,000 square feet of space (including the outdoor hockey rink), with the Junior Arts Center occupying approximately one-third of the building. Funding for the renovation of the complex was provided through Proposition K funds. DCA’s Music LA Program is a citywide music education program that coordinates resources to provide students with high quality music education in areas of the City where few or no arts education programs exist. For more information, visit <http://culturela. org/musicla/ index.html>. For the first time, the DCA and the Department of Recreation & Parks are working side-by-side in order to provide different programs in a single location. This partnership will bring more City resources directly into the heart of the neighborhood, and provide positive alternatives for local youth and adults.”
