With support from the CAC, CFAER will provide school-year-long teaching artist residencies and after-school arts classes at 6 Northeast LA Unified School District elementary and middle school sites. The residencies and classes are part of the larger Afterschool Arts: Imagine Studio program, which provides FREE, standards-based, culturally-relevant, after-school arts enrichment programs for students ages 6-12 in 19 underserved Northeast LA schools with Title I status and limited arts offerings.
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.
