Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita, was an artist with an innovative approach to design and education. By the 1960s, her vibrant serigraphs were drawing international acclaim. Corita’s work reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war, and her messages of peace and social justice continue to resonate with audiences today. Learn more →

As we face an era of uncertainty, the words of Corita Kent — “Doing and making are acts of hope” — resonate more deeply than ever.
Hope is more than an emotion. It is an ongoing commitment to creating a better future. To honor this spirit, we are pleased to announce that Corita Art Center is relocating to downtown Los Angeles’s vibrant Arts District. The move—which comes with the loving support of the Immaculate Heart Community who gave Corita her first home—ensures that her legacy reaches new generations of creators, thinkers, dreamers, and change-makers.
Opening our doors on March 8th, 2025, this new chapter invites everyone to participate in building a world of justice, creativity, and possibility, where hope is created through collective action.
Let’s celebrate Corita’s living legacy and open these doors together.
With determination and optimism,
Corita Art Center
