🎨 Every child deserves the opportunity to create, heal, and thrive.

We're working toward our Annual Campaign goal, and your support helps make that possible.

Each year, Free Arts serves approximately 16,000 children through partnerships with 32 community organizations, providing trauma-informed arts programs to children who otherwise would not have access to arts education. Through the power of art, young people build resilience, confidence, hope, and the skills to navigate life's challenges.

💚 Every gift—large or small—helps us bring creativity, healing, and opportunity to the children who need it most.

☀️ Summer Creativity Challenge: What Does Hope Look Like to You?

This month, we're inviting our community to join us in a creative challenge inspired by one simple but powerful word: hope.

Hope can be a person who inspires you, a place where you feel safe, a dream for the future, a meaningful memory, or even a color, symbol, or image that brings you comfort and joy.

Using any artistic medium—drawing, painting, photography, collage, digital art, poetry, or mixed media—create something that represents hope to you.

At Free Arts, we see every day how creativity helps young people express themselves, process emotions, build resilience, and imagine brighter futures. We believe art has the power to connect us, inspire us, and remind us that hope can be found in many forms.

🎨 Here's how to participate:
✔ Create your artwork
✔ Share it on social media
✔ Tag Free Arts LA
✔ Tell us what hope means to you

Throughout the month, we'll feature some of our favorite submissions in our stories and celebrate the many ways our community expresses hope through creativity.

We can't wait to see what you create!

From paint and brushes to journals and markers, these everyday materials become powerful tools for self-expression, resilience, and hope. Free Arts relies on donated art supplies to help bring our programs to life and serve thousands of youth each year.

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a celebration of freedom, resilience, culture, and community.

Throughout history, art has served as a powerful way to preserve stories, celebrate identity, inspire change, and envision a brighter future. Creativity gives voice to experiences that deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.

At Free Arts, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to express themselves, share their story, and discover the power of their own voice through creativity.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we recognize the rich artistic, cultural, and community contributions that continue to shape our nation and inspire future generations.

May we continue to create spaces where every story matters, every voice is valued, and every child has the freedom to imagine what's possible.
