Description

The Arroyo Arts Collective was established in 1989 as a community organization of artists, writers and performers who live and work in Northeast Los Angeles, including the neighborhoods of Highland Park, Mt. Washington, Montecito Heights, Cypress Park, Lincoln Heights and Eagle Rock. Historically rich in tradition, the area bordering the Arroyo Seco was Los Angeles' first cultural center at the beginning of the 20th century and the site of the Southwest Museum, the city's first. A large concentration of artists continue to reside in northeast Los Angeles in some of the city's most thoroughly multicultural and richly diverse neighborhoods
