EVENT DESCRIPTION

Long before LA Opera's Ring, Los Angeles was highly influenced by German culture when the city became home to some of the greatest German artists, architects and writers, who sought refuge here from persecution by the Nazis in the 1930s. The Los Angeles Conservancy will highlight the physical landscape of the city's mid-20th-century German influence with a self-guided tour of historic sites related to these important figures. The annotated map will be available for distribution and will also be downloadable from LAConservancy.org

Date(s):  April 1, 2010 - June 30, 2010

PARTNER DESCRIPTION


The Los Angeles Conservancy, the largest membership-based local historic preservation organization in the country, is dedicated to the recognition, preservation, and revitalization of the architectural and cultural heritage of greater Los Angeles. Established in 1978, the Conservancy grew out of the community-based effort to prevent demolition of the Los Angeles Central Library. With a two-fold mission of advocacy and education, the Conservancy works to preserve existing architectural resources by developing preservation strategies and by raising public awareness of the value of those resources through tours, lectures, publications and major programs such as "Last Remaining Seats".
