“Los Angeles is home to a powerful, diverse arts scene with boundless creativity,” said Rachel Moore, president and CEO of The Music Center. “Grand Park’s Our L.A. Voices: Spring Arts Festival will create a home for these artists and provide a beautiful setting for them to perform and display their work while connecting with new audiences,”

With the inaugural theme of “What does it mean to be a citizen?”, the festival’s line-up will probe issues of belonging and alienation as well cultural equity and inclusion. Several theaters such as The Fountain, Antics’ Dance will spotlight this important issue along with Grand Park’s PROUD Stories.
