OVERVIEW
Our mission in arts education is to inspire a passion for artistic expression in each student we reach by expanding their concept of what can be considered art. Our teachers combine art history, play-based learning, and their own studio practices to create classes that give students a place to explore artistic boundaries and establish community.
The education program at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, is expanding
significantly this year.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Our after school art and dance programming is such an asset to the local schools, public and private. By bringing arts back into LAUSD, we are investing in our youth. We currently serve 11 elementary and middle schools in Northeast Los Angeles. All of our teachers build their classes into a small community, where freedom of expression feels safe and positive. The art classes are taught by local working artists and dancers, and the classes themselves are highly student-motivated and project-oriented. The dance classes are taught by dancers specializing in experimental, contemporary practices. By teaching non-traditional dance, the students in each class study physical expression, and explore using dance as a way to express emotion. The class also learns basic yoga techniques and dance terminology.
We are also excited to announce our workshops series at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. The workshops this year will be free, ten week sessions, ranging for children to adults.

ARTS CAMP
Our winter and summer arts camps happen annually. The day camp is on-site at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, 9-5pm. Our teachers inspire the students by having thematic days. This winter we had geology day, collaboration day, nature vs. the city
day, and circus day. We culminate all we’ve discovered over the week into an art performance created by the students and facilitated by the teachers. During the week we explore: visual art, ceramics, gardening, craft, yoga, dance, cooking, sculpture, sewing, textiles, and we also make a lot of new friends! We have 30 students each week, 2 teachers and 2-3 teaching assistants.
