My Project
Our students come from a vibrant and dynamic community that is deeply rooted in creativity, resilience, and cultural pride. South Los Angeles is home to many artists, musicians, and visionaries, and our students are no exception. By supporting this mural project, you will help empower a new generation of young artists to make their voices heard and take ownership of their creative journey.
The goal of this project is not only to produce a stunning work of art but also to provide our students with an opportunity to express themselves in a meaningful way.
The mural will serve as both a platform for their artistic voices and a means of raising awareness about issues that directly impact their lives and their community. Through this process, they will learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and think critically about the role of art in social change.
For many of our students, art is not just an elective—it is a vital part of their identity. However, access to the materials needed to fully realize their artistic potential is often limited. This funding will provide the necessary resources, such as mural paint and brushes to ensure the students can bring their vision to life.
Beyond the technical skills they will gain in mural creation, the project will instill a sense of ownership and pride in their work. It will also encourage them to reflect on their own experiences and identities while contributing something meaningful to their school and broader community. Most importantly, it will help foster a sense of empowerment as they see the impact of their artistic expression.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
