The Pico Union Project

The Pico Union Project is a distinctive historic event venue in Los Angeles, housed in one of the city’s oldest synagogue buildings. Its character-filled setting combines architectural heritage with a welcoming, community-minded atmosphere, making it suitable for organisers seeking something more memorable than a conventional function room.

The venue offers several spaces for private and professional hire. The main sanctuary and theatre can accommodate large audiences for concerts, performances, ceremonies, talks and cultural programmes, while the social hall and meeting room provide more intimate settings for workshops, board meetings, receptions and smaller gatherings. The sanctuary can also be arranged for seated dinners, making the building suitable for celebrations and formal events.

Pico Union Project welcomes a broad range of bookings, including weddings, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, concerts, workshops, film shoots, photography sessions and nonprofit or community events. Organisers can enquire about using the kitchen, parking areas, sound and lighting equipment, tablescape items and other practical amenities. The venue’s rental process is designed to discuss the event format, attendance, timings, production needs and preferred spaces before booking.

Located in Downtown Los Angeles, the building offers an atmospheric backdrop for events that value culture, creativity and social connection. Its flexible rooms, performance facilities and distinctive historic identity make it a strong choice for organisers planning celebrations, live events, creative productions or gatherings with a meaningful community focus.
