The Cicely Tyson Residential Building will feature 151 units of affordable housing and the new home for the Entertainment Community Fund Western Region Headquarters. The Rita Moreno Arts Building will be home to The Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Theater; LA Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE); a young filmmakers program targeting underserved, emerging talent in the neighborhood; and the Entertainment Community Fund’s Rosenthal Family Foundation Training Center.
The project, currently under construction and expected to open in 2023, is an important stake in the ground for lower-income arts and entertainment workers and small non-profit performing arts organizations being priced out of Hollywood. It will allow them to continue to live, work and perform in the center of creativity in Los Angeles. We are grateful to our development partners, Thomas Safran & Associates and Kingdom Development.
