Welcome to Lucy Florence Cultural Center

Congratulations Richard & Ron for your 2008

Welcome to the Lucy Florence Cultural Center, a premier entertainment complex located in the heart of The Historical Leimert Park Village. The residential-style architecture emanates warmth and extends an invitation to make yourself at home.

We are excited to announce the all new Lucy Florence Community Postcard Program. Outside businesses are invited to advertise goods, services and events inside Lucy Florence for just $15/month. Click here for details.

Owners and twin brothers, Ron and Richard Harris, are lifetime supporters and promoters of visual and performing arts. Also known as the "A Swirl" twins from Tyra Banks' famed "America's Next Top Model," the Harrises have made their mark in the world of arts and entertainment. They are philanthropists, dancers, teachers and community builders. As an institution, Lucy Florence provides a safe and creative space for launching new entertainment careers, like Grammy Award winning singer, Macy Gray, or test marketing premier theater projects, like Ella Joyce's "A Rose Among Thorns" and Jo Marie Payton's "The Drama That Surrounds Me."

The Harris brothers established Lucy Florence in 1996 and named it after their mother as a birthday homage. It is out of love for their mother and sisters that the twins have pledged a commitment to the empowerment of women.
