With support from the California Arts Council, the Fernando Pullum Community Arts Center (Pullum Center) will provide performing arts instruction for more than 1,200 students, ages 5 – 20, who reside within a five-mile radius of 43rd Street and Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles. Pullum Center offers 24 areas of study including drums, guitar, brass & woodwind instruments, jazz, choir, music recording/tech, piano, drama, theater and dance. 136 classes per week are held at the main location in Leimert Park. During the summer program, students have 6 hours of classes, 4-days-a-week, and a field trip. The funding will be used to support up to 20 local teaching artists, who specialize in music, theater, dance and film, to teach underserved youth.
