Youth audiences are blooming!
Design for Sharing — CAP UCLA’s free K-12 arts education program — has drawn busloads (literally!) of young people to The Nimoy in recent weeks. We celebrated Mardi Gras with Cha Wa and two enthusiastic student crowds. An intimate group of teen poets were moved and inspired by Inua Ellams: Search Party. Music and choir students from middle and high schools across Los Angeles discovered Barcelona’s vocal duo Tarta Relena. We look forward to welcoming middle school bands to experience ground-breaking composer Andy Akiho and his trio on April 3.
Our upcoming spring residency program continues our 15-year partnership with UCLA Community School at the RFK Schools complex in Koreatown. Five fourth and fifth-grade classrooms will explore their creativity and share their unique voices with our in-class writing and art activities, culminating in a visit to The Nimoy for a morning with L.A.’s own Quetzal.
Design for Sharing’s arts education programs serve thousands of students and teachers each year, providing free matinee performances, workshops and in-class residencies. And since its creation in 1969, its programs have been 100% donor-supported.
We invite you to learn more about Design for Sharing, and how you can be part of its great legacy of sharing the arts.
