In the continued effort to heal and transform the Watts community and instill a sense of hope and cultural pride, WLCAC’s cultural arts programming has provided a place of expression and fellowship.


It is here that we engage members of our community of all ages and house the core of our Watts cultural tourism initiative, created to dispel and redefine the misperceptions of our beloved Watts community.
The Center site facility is not only a community cross section and tourist destination, but also a valuable venue for cultural organizations and other agencies to host events, generating valuable revenue to sustain operations.
