QUICK TAKES - Oct. 7, 2009

Miguel Angel Corzo, a prominent arts administrator who has led the Getty Conservation Institute and the Colburn School in Los Angeles and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, has been elected president and chief executive of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, a new cultural center in downtown Los Angeles.

LA Plaza is under construction in Vickrey-Brunswig and Plaza House, two 1880s buildings in El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. The first phase of the project is expected to open in early 2010. When complete, LA Plaza will have 50,000 square feet of indoor space for exhibitions, workshops and other educational programs, plus additional outdoor facilities.
