Mission Statement
Providing a high standard of multi-disciplinary arts education to our youth in the community we serve.
Description
Founded in 1945, the Los Angeles Music and Art School (LAMusArt) offers sequential, multidiscipilinary, quality individual and group arts training during non-school hours to all students, regardless of age, ethnicity or artistic aptitude. As the only multi-discipline arts school in East Los Angeles, LAMusArt has served 100,000 children and youth since its founding through its music, art, dance, and drama programs. In a community that has one of the highest populations under ten, over half of whom reach adulthood with no form of higher education, LAMusArt plays an increasingly vital role in not only increasing access to quality arts programs, but also improving high school graduation rates and combating juvenile delinquency.
