Constructed in 1932, the Old Post Office served as El Centro’s main mail hub until the 1970s, when it underwent a remarkable transformation. Thanks to the efforts of the City of El Centro and the Imperial Arts Council, it became a cultural center and art museum. Today, it’s a thriving space where local artists exhibit their work, teach, and share their craft. Blending historical charm with artistic vibrancy, the Old Post Office continues to enrich the community as a hub of creativity and inspiration.
