ARTS ARE ESSENTIAL,
LEARNING IS CRITICAL,
AND ART IN LEARNING IS TRANSFORMATIVE.
“I have never seen my students more enthused or happy. Now they have a way to express themselves. Children that I have never seen speak are empowered, and teachers love it. This program provides a way for the students to have a break in their daily struggles.”
Hector Bravo, Principal of Balboa Elementary
