The ArtsCOOL Program was developed in 2002 as a partnership between the CalArts Community Arts Partnership (CAP) program and the Los Angeles Unified School District Arts Education Branch and Educational Options Program. These options schools participating in this program each receive 30 weeks of arts programs taught by teams of CalArts faculty artists, student artists and alumni artists who share their expertise with up to 40 students in each school. The schools are located throughout Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, South Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Hollywood, Venice, Pacific Palisades, Huntington Park, Westchester, and downtown Los Angeles.
This event is free and open to the public. For further information please contact CAP’s ArtsCOOL Coordinator Betty Lee at bettylee@calarts.edu [1]. This event will take place at CalArts located at 24700 McBean Parkway, Valencia, CA 91355.
