Arts and Culture in Los Angeles
LA’s art scene shines brightly no matter what the medium. World-class art museums and edgy galleries in Downtown LA, NoHo (North Hollywood), Chinatown and San Pedro make Los Angeles a prime destination for the best and newest artists. But let's not forget the performing arts. Live shows — from award-winning theater and concerts at the Music Center to polished ethnic dance companies and avant-garde productions at LA’s hundreds of independent theaters throughout the city — offer much to applaud.
