McGroarty Arts Center was founded in 1953 in the former home of California Poet Laureate John S. McGroarty. Initially a City-run facility, McGroarty Arts Center has steadily grown into a site for the entire community to experience and celebrate culture through creativity. In 1995, the City of Los Angeles divested the Center, and it has since run as a board-directed initiative with City infrastructural assistance. As the solitary cultural venue in Sunland-Tujunga, the Center plays a pivotal role in arts education, giving multidisciplinary arts classes and afterschool programming at extremely low tuition rates.
 Located in serene outdoor surroundings, the Center’s programs respond to the needs of our diverse community through educational programming in drama, poetry, dance, music, ceramics, drawing, painting, and mixed media—ensuring that our offerings promise cross-cultural appeal. We believe that creativity and shared experiences strongly connect youth and children to their communities, changing lives and outcomes in the process. Each year McGroarty Arts Center serves 2,000 children and adults by providing four 8-week sessions of classes. Between each session, we use our community space to host art exhibitions and performances, ranging from puppetry and dance to ceramics and sculpture. Since 1995, the Center has served over 100,000 individuals through art classes, exhibitions, and community events. McGroarty Arts Center is building upon its decades of success offering excellent programming with the goal of creating an even more accessible, diverse, and dynamic institution. |
