Did you ever take a class at Plaza de la Raza when you were a kid? Remember all the fun? The work? The teaching artists? Maybe just being there and hanging out with other students. Maybe, you remember Lincoln Park and the lake. Maybe you were in a play or performed in one of the ensembles. Did you ever have your art go up on the gallery wall? Did you receive a toy from Santa as a part of the annual Community Holiday Celebration? Consider supporting the center as a part of Giving Tuesday for all the Plaza kids of today… and tomorrow.

Can you send me the information on the prom dresses event you are having at plaza
Hey!
I'm super excited to share with you about a project I'm working on, it's a web series called Hecho En Echo. The series will focus on two Latino artists struggling to make it in Echo Park in this story of healing and hoops in the City of Angels.
We launched a crowdfunding campaign and I hope you'll support us by making a contribution and sharing the link www.HechoEnEcho.com. At the end of the day, our goal is to empower Latinas to tell their own stories amidst gentrification.
Thank you so much!
