Thanks for an amazing year!

2023 was a truly a year of firsts for Everyday Arts, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

-In March, with dual support from the National Endowment for the Arts and California Arts Council, we kicked off the “Everyday Arts Neighborhood Project,” pairing Teaching Artists with schools in their own neighborhoods, to create stronger community connections!

-In July, we unveiled our new website, allowing us to reach a worldwide audience!

-In August, we held our first “Summer Soiree” celebration, with a live DJ, tacos, drinks, a silent auction, dancing, and artmaking!

-In December, we were invited to meet State Senator Caroline Menjivar, who recognized us as leaders in District 20 for our nonprofit work in Los Angeles public schools!

Last but not least, we launched our first “Giving Tuesday” fundraising campaign, to bring arts-integration to special education classrooms. We’ve already broken our organizational record for individual donations, but it’s not too late to donate! All of this was made possible by your support, and we are immensely grateful.

Here’s to an amazing 2024!
