Allied is a tax exempt non profit arts umbrella founded in 1981 as an entirely artist-run multi-purpose entity that fosters collective community building by presenting, producing, and sponsoring all areas of the arts, including the activities of individuals, groups, and organizations. 

Allied created LPV in 1995 and transformed an abandoned lot into an extraordinary community garden and multipurpose space that serves as our primary venue for art and activism, supporting communities at risk,including LGBTQ communities and youth of color. 

Since 2001 LPV has presented hundred of poets, artists, filmmakers, musicians and more,benefiting our community. Furthermore we are moving forward with improvements to sustain the garden itself.
