For 40+ years, Free Arts has been using art to restore hope, resiliency, and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 5-18 who have experienced abuse, poverty, neglect and/or homelessness. In addition to providing art therapy programs to children that have suffered trauma, Free Arts also provides programs to communities that do not have access to art programs.

 

Free Arts serves 16,500 children in Los Angeles each year. Programs are delivered to children in domestic violence centers, shelters, underserved communities, homeless shelters, schools, and partnering sites. Each program is implemented by expert trained certified mentors & teaching artists, who donate more than 18,000+ hours every year. 78 cents per each dollar is directed to Free Arts programs.
