Angels Gate Cultural Center provides space for artists to work and engages community through art education, exhibitions of contemporary art, and cultural events.

The core of AGCC’s education programming is Artists-in-Classrooms (AIC), which places professional artists in schools to provide arts education to students K-12. Residencies promote creativity, cross-disciplinary knowledge, and critical thinking skills in accordance with California Visual and Performing Arts standards, and familiarize students with contemporary arts practices. Artists-in-Classrooms has been serving schools in Los Angeles since 1999.

AGCC artist-teachers are skilled, experienced artists from diverse backgrounds, who work in a variety of creative disciplines. They rely on their own artistic process and dedicated teaching practice to provide engaging and unique creative experiences for K-5 students and their teachers. Our artist-teachers create and deliver high-quality curriculum, expose the classroom community to artworks from a range of cultures, introduce arts vocabulary, and demonstrate arts concepts. AGCC artist-teachers become a trusted part of the school community, building an inclusive and creative experience for students and their teachers.
