Dear Friend of Hollywood Arts,
 |
|
We have a home!
Hollywood Arts thanks Alan Sieroty, former California
State Senator, arts advocate, philanthropist and real estate developer for his incredible support in helping us secure a 2,000 sq foot storefront in the heart of Hollywood, our service area.
|
Thanks to Sieroty's help, along with Evan Kasier, Hollywood Arts will be able to bring free classes in the arts from music to fashion to video games to homeless, runaway and foster care youth--teaching them
not only basic job skills but also how to believe in themselves, the most important gift of all.
The next two months will be spent building out the center. Take the lead! Support the recording studio, help us buy projection screens for our editing bays, help homeless young people while they still have a chance to have a different life than the one they are living right now.
See photos of the center.

Student Exhibition at The William Morris Agency
|
|
|
|
For the past few months, Hollywood Arts' students have been diligently working on learning the fundamentals of drawing in order to create their self-portraits.
Under the guidance of teachers Andy Clark from SpongeBob SquarePants and Stefanie Milner, licensed MFT and Art Therapist, students have learned the qualities of line,
value and tone.
The William Morris Agency is turning their lobby into a gallery for our talented students! We thank William Morris for their generosity in hosting the exhibition for a month at
the agency.
