Pico Union Project

The Pico Union Project is dedicated to the Jewish principle to “love your neighbor as yourself.” It elevates this teaching into practice in a historic building by bringing diverse cultures together through song, story, art, food and prayer. Pico Union Project is a multi-faith cultural arts center and house of worship founded in 2013 by visionary recording artist, composer and musician Craig Taubman. Pico Union Project aims to help invigorate the community of Los Angeles and reflect the Jewish value of being a light to all nations.

We are currently a regular home for four worship communities, and we have space available for special religious services and events. We provide a supportive environment for interfaith activities and a beautiful space for lifecycle events.

In our 375 seat sanctuary/theater, we host music, theater, poetry, art and dance performances, workshops and festivals. We are available to artists and nonprofit organizations in need of performance and/or meeting space, and to film and TV production crews, but we are more than a venue; we are a home for collaborative community.
