Overview
Begun in 1992, ARTScorpsLA (ACLA) is a community based organization that transformed blighted and abandoned land into greenspace and community gathering places. Through ARTScorpsLA, multi-ethnic young people in the urban community designed and created a youth artpark, a community mural project, and gathering places on reclaimed land and in neglected buildings. The project has promoted community building through the arts on a variety of sites, transformed blighted neighborhoods, and contributed to community pride.
