Grand Avenue Arts: All Access

Colburn School Campus

The LA community is invited to explore, be curious, pop in, and choose their own adventures at more than 15 participating cultural institutions along Grand Avenue, who will open their doors to visitors of all ages for a day of free workshops, performances, tours, and interactive events. Explore art, music, dance, literature, and more! 

Stop by Colburn’s Plaza for fun family activities, then visit our friends on Grand Avenue. All events are free and open to the public, rain or shine.
