The Music Center Presents: The Chapter House Indigenous Peoples' Day Party

On Saturday, October 12, 2024, Angelenos can shop at a vibrant marketplace on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center, connect to local Indigenous-serving resource groups, participate in artist-led workshops and storysharing and view visual artwork and live performances featuring the rich cultural heritage and contemporary expressions of Indigenous communities. The October 12 celebration is supported in part by the County of Los Angeles’ Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion (ARDI) Initiative and the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture. The festivities continue the following Saturday, October 19, 2024, to coincide with Grand Ave Arts: All Access, one of L.A.’s longest-running, free open house experiences for arts and culture exploration in Downtown Los Angeles. The Music Center will host a live drumming performance, live DJ sets, art workshops as well as the return of the marketplace (from the previous Saturday)—again, on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center—to nurture community building and a sense of belonging.
