About
Located in beautiful Griffith Park, the Autry features unique galleries filled with paintings, sculptures, film memorabilia, photographs, historic firearms and so much more, all related to the American West. The Autry’s more than 600,000 pieces of art and cultural objects include one of the largest and most significant collections of Native American materials in the United States.
The Autry presents a wide range of events and public programs including lectures, films, theater performances, festivals and family activities.

Native Voices is the only Actors’ Equity theatre company in the nation devoted to developing and producing new works for the stage by Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and First Nations playwrights. Over the past 30 years, Native Voices has become the cornerstone of American Theater in cultivating opportunities for Native playwrights.
