NoHo Arts District

Noho’s claim to fame is as one of the top performing arts and theatre districts in the nation, offering a diverse blend of 22 professional live theatres. Classics and new works, experimental and unusual, musical and comedic… NoHo has it all. Some of its largest include the NoHo Arts Center and the Lankershim Arts Center. Its foundation lies in the historic El Portal and the Actors Forum. And unique venues like Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre and California Institute of Abnormalarts provide a taste of something different. As a testament to its greatness, NoHo Arts District is even home of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, where the Emmy Awards are hosted. But it’s not just about theatre. NoHo is also home to seven dance studios, including Millennium Dance Complex, and a huge variety of art galleries, like NoHo Gallery LA, Cella Gallery, and Gallery 800, which house everything from works of local art to famous pieces to live juried competition.

Need to escape from the hustle and bustle? Head over to North Hollywood Park, where you’ll find a skate plaza, memorial rink, a Regional Library, and the North Hollywood Recreation Center—home to baseball, basketball, handball, tennis courts, a pool, a playground, and a gymnasium.

Art galleries, cafes, shops, restaurants, bars, clubs, even grocery stores and fast food chains—NoHo Arts District has them all! Whether you’re looking for delicious local dining, eclectic boutiques, convenience stores, or nightly drink specials, you’ll find just want you need… without ever having to leave the neighborhood.

There’s always something happening at the NoHo Arts District! Happy hours, wellness fairs, stand-up comedy, trivia nights, even appearances by Hollywood stars… you never know what will be happening on any given night. Saturday mornings bring the favorite Farmers Market, and the big annual events like the NoHo Theater and Arts Festival, Hollywood Film Festival, and MECDA Cairo Carnivale draw thousands of visitors to the streets of NoHo.
