Join us for The Chapter House Indigenous Peoples’ Day Party! On two Saturdays in October, in partnership with The Music Center, we’re inviting all Angelenos for cultural affirmation and joy among the county’s Indigenous communities to foster greater awareness, respect and understanding of the ongoing cultural contributions of Indigenous people among Los Angeles County residents. These events are by and for Indigenous Peoples, and all are welcome to join!
Coinciding with Grand Ave Arts: All Access, one of L.A.’s longest-running, free open house experiences for arts and culture exploration in Downtown Los Angeles, The Music Center will host a live drumming performance, live DJ sets, art workshops as well as the return of the marketplace—on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center—to nurture community building and a sense of belonging.
