PERFORMING ARTS

Through public and private support for performing arts programs, the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) implements initiatives to create festivals and platforms to select artists to create and/or present site-specific public art projects and/or programming. The Performing Arts Division (PERF) champions Los Angeles artists through advocacy on a local, national, and international level.

PERF manages six performing arts centers: the Warner Grand Theatre (San Pedro), the Madrid Theatre (Canoga Park), Taxco Theatre (Canoga Park), the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre (East Hollywood), the Lankershim Arts Center (North Hollywood), and the Vision Theatre (Leimert Park). DCA also has two partner-venues: the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center (Mid-City), and the Los Angeles Theatre Center (Downtown).
