With support from the California Arts Council, LACER AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS will provide dance, music, visual and literary arts classes, and performance opportunities at eight Los Angeles Title 1 schools. The free classes operate 39 weeks each school term providing instruction, and all instruments, equipment, and supplies.
The goal of L.A.C.E.R.’s ARTStars is to provide an arts experience for every student at every school that L.A.C.E.R. serves. By doing so, L.A.C.E.R. has transformed the culture in both the after school and day school programs by once again making the arts an integral part of the school experience. Although the dosage of arts involvement will vary from student to student, with some attending after school arts classes 3-5 days/week and others will experience a live arts assembly or performance during the school day, every student will be exposed to the arts and benefit from the encounter.
