— Dana Giola
Poet Laureate of California
Some ways you can help.
-
Donate your time.
Time is our most valuable resource. And since we can’t make more of it, we need more parents and students to donate their time to help us increase our scope of events, classes, and outreach programs.
-
Make a donation.
Art can be expensive, especially when it comes to putting on elaborate productions and supplying students with state-of-the-art equipment & facilities. If you can, we would be very grateful for your financial donation.
-
Come see a show.
Performers live to perform. And what is a performance without a captivated audience? Come experience our programs in person by attending one of our many events going on throughout the year.
-
Encourage enrollment.
The first step is always the toughest to take, and with a little guided wisdom, you could alter the course of your student’s life for the better by providing a gentle word of encouragement.
-
Share your story.
Have the arts had a profound impact on your life and development as a human being? We’ve heard thousands of stories like this, and we want to hear yours too. It could be the story that inspires the next great artist to take that first step.
-
Join a class.
Feeling that bug to try something new? We are here for you. Our classes are open to all students who are interested, and will surely be one of the best decisions you can make in your education career. Make new friends, learn a new skill, and create something great.
Some more quotes to consider.
“The arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing, and arithmetic… Music, dance, painting, and theater are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.”
William Bennett
“Arts education must be part of our education solution because it works for all students.”
Kerry Washington
“Arts education is not a luxury, it’s a necessity… It’s how we get kids excited about getting up and going to school in the morning. It’s how we get them to take ownership of our future. And, most importantly, it’s how we get them to go to college. ”
Michelle Obama
