El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument is near the site of the early Los Angeles pueblo or town where forty-four settlers of Native American, African and European heritage journeyed more than one-thousand miles across the desert from present-day northern Mexico and established a farming community in September 1781. Since that time, Los Angeles has been under the flags of Spain, Mexico and the United States and has grown into one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas. Today, as a department of the City of Los Angeles, El Pueblo is a living museum that continues to fulfill its unique role as the historic and symbolic heart of the city, reflecting the Native American, African American, Spanish, Anglo, Mexican, Chinese, Italian and French cultures that contributed to its early history. Of the monument’s twenty-seven historic buildings, eleven are open to the public as businesses or have been restored as museums.
IAO’s work embraces three primary areas of intent: We Innovate by creating an environment that encourages new exploration of the olfactive arts, fostering discussion and experience of scent through strategic cross-discipline projects, and by providing space for experimentation in our Perfumers’ Lab. Similarly, we facilitate new creative practices spanning the popular and fine arts through project-based residency and research programs. We Educate by generating greater public awareness of scent and perfumery and by helping emergent perfumers gain greater knowledge, exposure and skills. As well, we inform the public about social and scientific issues that impact the art form. We do this by offering ongoing series of classes and workshops, and through a public speaking series. We Support by advancing the art of perfumery and the work of independent scent creators through business mentorships and creative partnerships, and with our ongoing creative residency programs in our Los Angeles chief facility.

From its inception, as a not for profit organization, Artcore has dedicated itself to the task of finding and exposing artists locally and internationally whose work shows dedication, excellence and originality. Artcore focuses on artists of all walks of life spurring the creativity of both emerging and established artists. Artcore's operative word has always been "opportunity," both for the artists, and for the community to have access to art. Artcore is committed to its mission of making art accessible without the constraints of the market economy. As such it exercises freedom of choice based strictly on quality and contribution to the community. One of our strategies is to expand contact between visual artists regionally and internationally by seeking the artists’ involvement in our vision. Another strategy is to draw increasingly diverse audiences from the widest possible spectrum of our community. Mature developed artists will establish year-round art programs and workshops designed for children, youth and adults to discover visual arts and its core values.

The Brothers were founded by Saint John Baptist de La Salle in 1679 - 1680. The Founder was responsible for establishing Christian Schools in France. Although he never had the intention of establishing schools nor of directing teachers he gradually found himself involved in the work of education by training teachers and founding parish schools. His desire in training teachers was for them to be good role models for the students as well as competent educators who would prepare their students for the world they would face in their futures. De La Salle saw very clearly the importance of providing an education that could guarantee each child an opportunity to participate more fully in the life of society and of the Church. Times were not always easy for John Baptist de La Salle. Although men came to the Brothers but many left because they had gained a career to support themselves as lay teachers. Many also left the Brothers because the life of the early Brothers was very strict and harsh. Because the vocation of a teaching Brother was new, the Brothers were ridiculed because of the new religious garb that they chose to wear. The schools the Brothers established were seen as a competitor with other schools that existed. In fact, John Baptist de La Salle was taken by the School Masters. There was also disease that caused the death of many Brothers. In some situations the Brothers were torn between the Founder and the local pastor; there were times that the pastor wanted complete control over the Brothers in the parish school. In these situations John Baptist de La Salle would withdraw the Brothers immediately. Also there were times when the Brothers just abandoned the Founder. Things looked so bleak on November 21, 1691 that John Baptist de La Salle and two Brothers pronounced what became known as the Heroic Vow. The three men vowed they would "work as long as life lasts in order to establish the Institute of the Brothers." They vowed before God and one another that they would remain faithful to their mission as Christian educators even if it meant they had to "beg for alms and live on bread alone". The remainder of his life De La Salle established many more schools in France. At the time of his death, April 7, 1719, a Good Friday, John Baptist de La Salle had about 100 Brothers in his new religious community who were teaching in Lasallian schools. He left behind a legacy that continues today throughout the world in 83 countries. The Brothers of the Christian Schools arrived in California in the year 1868. The Archbishop of San Francisco, Archbishop Alemany, had founded Saint Mary's College but it was floundering. He was desperately trying to get the Brothers to come to San Francisco to manage the college because he knew the Brothers to be successful school administrators. Although the Brothers had been approached by Archbishop Alemany there were simply not enough Brothers to send to the West Coast. Finally the Archbishop appealed directly to the Vatican. In his request he stated that the Brothers of the Christian Schools were desperately needed to save Saint Mary's College. And so a small band of Brothers from New York were sent to San Francisco. In 1870 the Brothers expanded to Southern California. They took charge of an academy of about thirty students attached to Mission Santa Inez. This proved to be a successful work of the Brothers as they established a farm as part of the school. Poultry and produce from the school farm was sent to Saint Mary's College. In 1883 the Mission became part of the Monterey Diocese, at that time the Brothers decided to withdraw from this educational work. In 1923, Right Reverend Monsignor George Donahoe requested that the Brothers take charge of the upper grades for boys at Sacred Heart School. Two years later the Most Reverend John J. Cantwell, Archbishop of Los Angeles, built a central high school in the city. The Brothers were then transferred from the parish school to Cathedral High School. Here begins the long history of the Brothers service in the city of Los Angeles. © Cathedral High School • 1253 Bishops Road, Los Angeles, CA 90012 • Phone: (323) 225-2438 • Fax: (323) 222-7223
