"I will find a way, or make one."
(382)

The Ebell of Los Angeles is a nonprofit organization founded in 1894 by a small group of bold women to educate and uplift women. Our mission has evolved to advancing ALL Angelenos through education, arts and culture, and philanthropy. Throughout the year we present public programs at our historic campus and theatre featuring artists, athletes, scholars, scientists, business innovators and political leaders. We partner with other community organizations, and through all our projects our members still work to inspire and empower women, perhaps most notably through more than 100 years of awarding scholarships to students and providing grants to charities that help at-risk women and children in the Los Angeles community. Our motto is, “I will find a way, or make one.”

Membership is open to everyone and we encourage you to join us as we continue to inspire & empower for another 100 years! For inquiries about membership, special events and our theatre please email [email protected]

The director behind some of our nation's most beloved films had a far more complicated story than his movies let on.

Join us Monday, October 26, at 7:30 PM PDT as acclaimed film historian Sam Wasson discusses his new book, Frank Capra. This is a sweeping portrait of the man behind beloved classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and the era that shaped him.

Presented in partnership with Writers Bloc, Wasson takes the stage for a conversation with journalist and author Todd Purdum, an expert in American cultural phenomena as well as the former New York Times bureau chief and Vanity Fair contributing editor.

Join us in conjunction with the How To Academy on Wednesday, September 23, at 7:00 PM for an evening of candid reflection with the prolific Chilean American author, Isabel Allende.

After nearly five decades of writing and over 80 million copies sold, she is known for weaving memory, family, and politics into powerful fiction that stays with readers long after the final page. She describes writing as a way of holding on to what time tends to erode.

On our main stage, she'll discuss her creative process, her failures, and the wisdom that she's gained over her long literary career. Premium ticket holders receive a copy of her latest book, Story Telling: A Writing Life, with additional copies available at checkout and onsite.

Don't miss out: https://loom.ly/qcJZoIo

What a night with Patti Smith.

Thank you to everyone who came out for a powerful evening of songs & stories that will linger with us for a long time. It was a true honor to host her on the Ebell stage.

Looking ahead, we're celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with an exclusive keynote and Q&A featuring Camille Zapata, Digital Director for California Governor Gavin Newsom, on Monday, October 5 at 11:30 am.

Camille's work, lauded by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Vanity Fair, straddles storytelling, technology, and culture. She has fascinating insight on how a narrative is shaped in our modern age, and we hope you can join us for this intimate lunch.
