The center includes the only bookstore, art gallery, film space, and workshops in music, art, dance, theater, writing, and more for half-a-million people in the northeast Valley, mostly Mexican and Central American. We also hold the only outdoor annual arts & literacy festival in the San Fernando Valley, "Celebrating Words," as well as programs like "Indigenous in Us," and more.
