Join

of thought-provoking works such as "Meet Me @Metro," a site-specific extravaganza performed on and around the Los Angeles Metro transit system.
In a community constantly struggling with poverty and adversity, WVTC inspires and provides positive alternatives to the status quo. With your support, we can continue to bring the community together!
