About LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes

LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes is a museum in Los Angeles dedicated to Latino history, art, and community. Visitors explore rotating exhibitions that tell the Latino historical perspective, such as "LA Starts Here" and "A Great Day in East L.A.", which features the Eastside Sound. The exterior walls transform into an art installation called "We Belong Here" from sunset to dawn. The museum also hosts culinary programs, including the LA Cocina Culinary Youth Training program for students ages 16 to 24, and cooking classes where participants learn to prepare traditional dishes like Northern-style beef tamales. Beyond exhibitions, the venue presents documentary screenings, live music performances, and community events throughout the year. The museum operates Wednesday through Sunday, welcoming families and individuals seeking to engage with Latino culture and history in East Los Angeles.
