"...Intrigued by the pragmatic and graceful Arts and Crafts style, free-thinking students came from all over the west and created a nurturing community of artists and writers. This artisan and intellectual community still thrives today. Because of this richness of artists and works, the Arroyo Arts Collective and the Historical Society of Southern California sponsor an annual "Museums of the Arroyo Discovery Tour" that highlights the local art and architecture for this and neighboring communities. Over fifty local artists participate each year in the event, now in its sixth year.

One of the more interesting characters to take up residence in Highland Park during the emergence of the Arts & Crafts era was Clyde Browne. Browne spent a decade building the Abbey San Encino, a lovely neo-Franciscan structure where he envisioned an arts collective comprised of the best printers, bookbinders, and graphic artists of his day, all of them living and working together under one roof. Boasting a tile fireplace designed by the legendary Ernest Batchelder, the Abbey must have been inspiring indeed. If such a dream can be measured by the accomplishments of its alumni, Clyde Browne was successful indeed - the Abbey was the childhood home of Jackson Browne, the incredibly talented musician whose songwriting defined American pop.
