SEPULVEDA BASIN : Controversial Arts Center Proposal Scaled Down
A group of San Fernando Valley business owners and arts patrons has once again responded to public criticism by agreeing to scale down its proposal for an arts complex in the Sepulveda Basin.
The Cultural Foundation eliminated an outdoor amphitheater and performance glen from its once-sprawling project, Arts Park L.A., which still calls for a theater, museum and various workshops to be erected along the basin’s northern edge. This is the second time in eight months that the foundation has deleted buildings from it plan. Such changes are meant to garner public support as the foundation seeks to sublease public land. The basin is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and leased to Los Angeles.
Should government officials agree to review this new plan, it will be submitted for a new round of public scrutiny.
