The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is a unique exhibition venue. Located in a former Carnegie Library, and now a historical landmark, we are limited to the floors and freestanding exhibition walls. We are a multi-use facility, so the artwork must occasionally be moved for events, but every precaution is taken to protect the art. Our mission includes providing innovative and multicultural arts programming to the communities of northeast Los Angeles. The Center is dedicated to supporting multidisciplinary artists in reaching both traditional and non-traditional audiences. This first Biennial Juried Exhibition is an opportunity to bring together an important writer/curator with artists living and working in Los Angeles County.
