With support from the California Arts Council, KINGS AND CLOWNS INC will through the Arts Alive program, supply over 1000 students with quality after school arts education through performing opportunities in under served K-8 schools of Pico Union and South Los Angeles in the subjects of drama, dance, keyboard, ukulele, guitar and strings.
Since 2000, Arts Alive hires and trains experienced teaching artists to teach our multidisciplinary arts curriculum over 9 partner elementary schools. With support from public funds, tuition and donors, Arts Alive offers over 90 classes every week to 300 students between ages 5 and 13. Classes are taught by specific subject or orchestration such as Keyboard, Violin, Ukulele, Guitar, Ballet, and more. During the summer months, our 5-week intensive theatre and arts camp is open to all students entering grade 1 through 8 and from any school.
Once dedicated Arts Alive students graduate from eighth grade they are advanced into the Arts Alive Ambassador group who carry out events, high school work skills training within the arts industry, and more. For all of our Administration, Teaching Staff and Students, every effort is made to carry out our curriculum while upholding Arts Alive’s core values including Innovation, Teamwork, and Creativity.
