Orange County Great Park, Artist Studios, Palm Court Arts Complex

PARTIALLY REOPENED JUNE 19, 2020.  VIEW SAFETY GUIDELINES AND OPEN FACILITIES

The Palm Court Arts Complex includes the Great Park Gallery and the Great Park Artists Studios, housing a publicly-accessible artists-in-residence program.  This new civic space also features Hangar 244, a 10,000 square foot event center; a shaded outdoor performance plaza enhanced by 54 Canary Island date palms; and the Great Park’s first site-specific permanent public art installation.  Visitors will discover that the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro’s World War II-era atmosphere and architecture have been preserved by means of adaptive resuse of existing buildings, a strategy that aligns with the Park’s ecological values.  The Palm Court’s re-purposed military structures now form a cultural campus supporting the development of a fresh approach to establishing an interdisciplinary, public arts program.
