Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Kings Regional Traditional Folk Arts, Inc. will allow us to ensure that the Kings Cultural Center, the only cultural arts center serving Kings County, is able to resume operations by retaining our instructors with pay for time lost due to pandemic health orders.

Organization Summary

We serve a vast number of rural communities such as Corcoran, Huron, Kettleman City, Tulare, Armona, Lemoore, Five Points, Laton, Hanford, Selma and Visalia covering three counties (Tulare, Kings and Fresno). Our center is unique because of the progressive expansions of local programs at low to free of charge. Programs such as Zumba, Fiddle Bluegrass, Hawaiian dance, instrumental classes in guitar, violin, trumpet, Mariachi and Folklorico. Our board and staff are passionate about providing affordable classes to have children to adults in a safe place to learn and appreciate music and dance. The programming is geared towards incorporating culturally competent instructors to provide music and dance lessons to new and establish students and develop an appreciation of the art with the goal of making our community more vibrant.
