COLLAGE is an arts venue in San Pedro that opened in July 2021.
The mission of COLLAGE is to serve both the local and broader community with programs that are adventurous yet accessible. This is done by taking an expansive view of art that can include the visual, performative, culinary, and literary world, and making culture inclusive to consider ethnicity, affinity, ability, and emerging ways people are brought together. COLLAGE builds relationships with artistic and cultural communities and provides a space where they may come together to teach, learn, and entertain.
