Since its inception, LAMusArt has created equitable opportunities to engage in free and/or low-cost quality arts programming for students as young as age 4 continuing to seniors 65+. Across four disciplines, we offer dozens of weekly (private and group) classes (both low cost and no cost) held on our campus, an 11,000 square foot facility in the heart of East Los Angeles which includes over 20 classrooms, an audio recording studio, and an outdoor performance space where events, performances, exhibits, etc. take place.
Our Music department consists of three sectors: our one-on-one instrument and voice lessons; our Tuition-Free Music Ensembles Program; and our 10-week Audio Engineering workshops.
The Visual Art Department offers small group classes starting at age five which focus on creative exploration through drawing, painting, sculpture, and design.
Dance hosts up to 17 classes per week, ranging from classical Ballet to more modern forms of movement like Hip-Hop, Ballet, and Musical Theater.
The Drama department features 3 programs including our weekly, small group acting classes for students 8-16; our Playmaking program, which teaches students the basics of playwriting; and Camp MusArt, our summer arts program where students take daily lessons in all disciplines and rehearse for a musical production.
In all disciplines, we provide opportunities for public showcases annually, providing our community with vital ways to engage and connect with artistic demonstrations. Programming and curriculum planning is focused on the K-12 population and instruction is tailored to each student’s needs, interests, and rate of progression. The organization also offers need-based scholarships. LAMusArt is proud to be a trusted, reliable cornerstone for arts education in the community of East Los Angeles.
