Nestled in the heart of Glendale, California, Junior High is not just a venue but a reset — a dynamic art gallery, an inclusive event space, an artist sanctuary, and a vibrant home to many.
At Junior High, our commitment is unwavering: radical empathy, compassion, and safety guide everything we do. We prioritize accessibility, ensuring Junior High is a welcoming home for all ages, backgrounds, and levels of expertise.
