Date (inclusive): 1970 - 2000
Collection number: 63

Abstract: This collection of approx. 300 linear feet
represents both its administrative record as well as a record of its
students artistic output.
Situated in the century-old Lincoln
Park, Plaza de la Raza is the only multidisciplinary cultural arts
center serving Latinos in Los Angeles. The organization was founded over
33 years ago by prominent labor, business and community leaders and
incorporated into a non-profit cultural arts and educational center in
1970. Today, Plaza provides year-round programs in arts education and
fosters the enrichment of all cultures. Through the arts, Plaza provides
a vital human resource service, bridging geographic, social, artistic
and cultural boundaries of Los Angeles and beyond. Plaza de la Raza's
principal community-based program and crowning achievement of its
33-year legacy is the School of Performing and Visual Arts (SPVA). Since
its inception in 1975, the SPVA has grown to provide 500-600 students
each week with a full curriculum in theater, dance, music and visual
arts. Plaza recognizes the ability art has as an alternative to the
often harsh experiences that come with growing up and living in Los
Angeles' inner city and is committed to providing a space where every
student can give life to self-expression, innovation, creativity and
individuality. Plaza also presents an energetic list of programs
including performances on the Willie Velasquez outdoor stage and the
Margo Albert Theater. In the Boathouse Gallery, the school has
exhibitions of work produced by its students ages five to
adult.
