Corazón del Pueblo holds a place in local hearts

Corazón del Pueblo translates to “heart of the community,” and the name reflects the goal of the arts and community space. Residents say there is no other place like it -- people gather there for music and poetry, as well as community meetings and fundraisers.  “We weren’t sure about the ultimate vision, but we knew we needed a community center.  We are able to freely build something, with our heart rather than with just our mind.”  More about Boyle Heights's Corazón, on Boyle Heights Beat.
