With support from the CAC, CFAER will provide a month-long residency for painter Sascha Stannard to create new large-scale works in textile. Free public painting and scenic design workshops centered on illustrating family traditions will complement the residency. All of the artist- and community-created fabric artworks will be put on display at the Center, serving as a backdrop for a culminating participant performance about Northeast LA’s many diverse family traditions.
CFAER presents arts and education programs year-round at the Center and throughout the community at no or very little cost. Programming includes concerts, readings, film screenings, and community artist collaborations, visual art exhibitions and an annual art auction, the NELA Music Series, children’s summer and winter arts camps, year-round children’s and adults’ workshops, and a youth animation program. CFAER’s educational outreach program, Imagine Studio, brings arts programming and local teaching artists into underserved Northeast LA elementary and middle school classrooms, providing free, standards-based arts instruction.
