Music LA

Music LA is DCA’s citywide music education initiative for young people. Music LA coordinates a network of professional music education service providers to offer hands-on instrumental and vocal music classes for students in underserved areas of Los Angeles who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study music. The Music LA Summer Session gives children and teens an intensive 6 to 8 weeks of hands-on instrumental and/or vocal instruction of any genre. The 10-week Music LA Heritage Month Sessions are offered in conjunction with the following City of Los Angeles Heritage Month Celebrations: Latino, American Indian, African American, and Asian and Pacific Islander American.

Cultural Centers

Through its 18 neighborhood cultural centers, the Community Arts Division offers high quality instruction in the performing, visual, and new media arts; produces solo and group art exhibitions; maintains a Slide Registry of over 2,000 California artists; creates outreach programs for underserved populations; develops special initiatives for youth including the Sony Media Arts Program, which provides training in computer animation and graphics to middle-school students, and promotes numerous festivals during the year that celebrate the cultural diversity of the community.
