The Firehouse

Cultural CenterDesigned to be housed in Historic

Los Angeles Fire Station No.23

Old 23’sLocated at 225 E. 5th St.,

Los Angeles, CA.




A building with a rich fire fighting history worthy of preserving

Inspires us to fulfill a new purpose for a new century




In the heart of Downtown Los AngelesServing the needs of Americas largest recovery

community, Skidrowhttp://www.thechac.net



And serving the needs of Downtowns dynamic emerging loft community.




A Cultural Center provides a place to assist in development of a dynamic sustainable community. A diverse community requires a

cultural center to get to know itself and experience it’s own uniqueness through individual connectivity.




The Firehouse Cultural Center Project builds on 35 years of professional use as a famous motion picture location and expands it to serve Downtown and greater Los AngelesThe many visual and acoustic attributes of this building continue to make it desirable for recording as well as film and other creative enterprises.




The Firehouse Cultural CenterHas as its core values

Culture, Commerce and Sustainability. Inclusiveness. Social Responsibility.Community Development.Dignity and meaningful purpose for a growing Downtown and a creatively confident Los Angeles.




A place where people can raise their awareness, and share their background, to learn and contribute with the full spectrum of human expression. A place to learn from local artists and professionals the skills to transform themselves and develop the courage to create and express their dream.




CHAC has been working with the community to showcase and encourage its creativity. For more than 4 years CHAC has been funding community events, exhibits, artists, civic groups and projects. The cultural Center will expand this mission without cost to the taxpayers.




A Cultural Center welcomes this diversity, encourages its expression and serves as a revenue generating source, meeting place, producer and exhibitor, of the culture of Downtown and the interests of Downtown.

The City of Los Angeles holds one of the most prominent and diverse populations on the planet.




The initial plan calls for grants and other funding

for the restoration of Old 23 and gathering the

resources for the Cultural Center facility. Then

Professional quality equipment, exhibitions and staging means that the people involved in Cultural Center projects are limited only by their skills and imagination

By offering a facility fit for professionals the community will attract the people able to produce quality projects.From entry level programs for children and beginners to fully realized productions, the Center’s use will result in the ability for a community to produce a culture of unlimited possibility.




Every room and facility will be used for both production and classroom learning. As more and more use is made of the Cultural Center by the community many who learn and produce their work here will remain to teach and fill the staffing positions.
