Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), through its Community Arts Partnership (CAP) program, will collaborate with community artists to deliver free and educational community arts workshops in Spring-Summer 2024 for K-12 aged students. A grant from CAC will support visual and performing arts workshops with community groups, including Tatavium Community Center, Watts Art Center, and Susan Miller Dorsey High School. CAP student participants will learn visual and performing art and design principles through community-responsive programming, eliminating barriers to accessing a career in the creative industry, particularly for students of color. Inspired by the belief that arts education is a powerful tool for fostering educational and social equity for children, CAP prioritizes equal access to creative learning, an integral way in which CalArts achieves its educational mission.
Organization Summary
CalArts comprises three entities. As an internationally recognized school for the performing and visual arts–film, theater, art, dance, music and writing–the CalArts artistic philosophy places an emphasis on an exploration of new paths beyond conventional boundaries. REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater), a state-of-the-art producing, presenting and exhibiting venue in downtown Los Angeles, fulfills a unique niche in the Southern California cultural ecology by giving artists in many disciplines the support and infrastructure they need to create their finest work and share it with local, national and international audiences. CalArts’ Community Arts Partnership (CAP), a network of collaborative partnerships, links the Institute with more than 45 schools, community centers and social service agencies in order to provide free arts education to youth.
