What We Do

MONTHLY EVENTSWe volunteer to host hands-on art sessions for our communities to connect. We welcome artists of all abilities and people who may not yet consider themselves artists....Over here, we think you’re an artist <3

ARTIST NETWORKWe work on a hyperlocal level, cultivating our environments to be more inclusive, colorful, and interconnected. We believe that community-building means starting with our neighbors here at home.

Where We Work

We are based in Whittier, with connections across our neighboring so-called “Gateway Cities” of Santa Fe Springs, Pico Rivera, La Mirada, and Norwalk.

While, we prioritize hyperlocal events, we see ourselves as part of the larger fabric of the arts & cultural scenes of Southern California, from L.A. to O.C. and the I.E.

We are always open to new volunteers, questions, and collaborative event ideas. Drop us a line to connect: info@562arts.org
