Guided Tours & Workshops
K-12 GRADE SCHOOL GROUPS
Guided school tours and workshops at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes offer K-12 grade classrooms engaging opportunities to explore history, art, and culture. Tours and workshops explore culturally relevant themes rooted in identity, social justice, health and nutrition, community, and civil rights.
Engaging dialogue and interactive hands-on workshops encourage students to uncover the multilayers of Mexican, Mexican American, individual, and collective identity.

Let’s learn! This academic year visit LA Plaza (in person or online) with your classroom to explore cultural celebrations with us! Looking for ways to introduce Fiestas Patrias, Día de los Muertos, and other culturally relevant themes to your classroom? We got you covered!
UPDATE:
Due to limited capacity, along with an overwhelming stream of reservation requests for Fall 2022, LA Plaza is working to honor as many reservations from last semester as possible. Requests for new reservations will be welcomed in the summer for the new academic year.
We appreciate your interest and your patience as we continue to bring back LA Plaza’s in-person education programs.
