Our afterschool Arts enrichment program, imagine studio brought contemporary artists back into elementary school classrooms to share standards-based art projects, materials and techniques. We provided free exhibition space and curatorial resources for Eagle Rock high school artists to present original shows and continued to offer free online drawing lab and doodle hour Arts classes for vulnerable seniors and young children. Through a successful rfp submission, cfaer was awarded a five-year contract to expand our Cultural service provision to connect our northeast los angeles communities and beyond to the transformative power of the Arts.
