Arts & Entertainment


If business is at the heart of Downtown, then arts and cultural institutions give it a soul. Each year, thousands come to watch Esa -Pekka Salonen conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, view avant-garde works at the Museum of Contemporary Art, or tour the magnificent Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels.

Free outdoor concerts by Grand Performances at California Plaza during the summer months offer an eclectic mix of music, dance and spoken word programs. The Museum of Neon Art houses a unique collection of neon signs from many Los Angeles landmark buildings.

 

Nearby Exposition Park draws hundreds of thousands of people annually to the California Science Center and IMAX, Natural History Museum and California African-American Museum. The City's ethnic diversity is also reflected by the Japanese American National Museum located in Little Tokyo.

World-class athletic teams and venues offer sports fans a wealth of choices: the Dodgers at their longtime home in Chavez Ravine just north of the Downtown Center District; plus the Kings, Lakers, Avengers, Sparks and Clippers playing at the Staples Center.

 Biddy Mason Park
Back to Top
 Information: 
 - Long before they put the town in downtown before shops offices and theaters lined Broadway this area was home to Biddy Mason. A slave with three daughters she walked behind her master's wagon train to California in 1851. In 1856 she petitioned the court to declare her free as the state was anti-slavery. Biddy won her freedom and settled in Los Angeles to work as a midwife. Ten years later she bought a house where she operated an orphanage and eventually founded the city's First African Methodist Episcopal Church on land she had purchased and then donated to the church. She acquired numerous parcels in what is now downtown. Biddy Mason's life is commemorated in a series of plaques on a wall in the park that bears her name. Betye Saar's Biddy Mason's House of the Open Hand 1990 and Sheila Levrant de Bretteville's Biddy Mason: Time & Place 1990 indeed give one a sense of Biddy's time and place. Built on what was previously a narrow parking lot and a web of raw alleys the park designed by landscape architects Burton & Spitz is now graced by willowy camphor and jacaranda trees that shade a procession of engaging courtyards and walkways focused on an unusual sculptural assemblage of water-spouting pipes.
