Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Studios for the Performing Arts Operating Company will provide a minimum of 50 full scholarships for low-income youth to attend the CLARA Performing Arts Summer Camp. The 2-week summer camp includes over 15 different classes in dance, music, theatre and production arts with a culminating performance event for family, friends and community members.
Organization Summary
CLARA provides 6,800 students in Sacramento County with in-school artist residencies, where a working artist comes to their class for an hour per week over 10 weeks to explore a specific genre of dance, music, or theatre. We also provide 50,000 students with digital access to arts learning through our virtual platform, CLARA Classroom. And, about 200 elementary age students have their first experiences in an array of performing arts genres through CLARA’s Performing Arts Summer Camp. A portion of these programs are donated free of charge to the students of Sacramento City Unified School District, as rent for the decommissioned school building that CLARA now manages to be a home for six diverse cultural organizations in our community.
