Free Arts

Free Arts uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 4-18 who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness. We serve more than 22,000 children in Los Angeles each year via nearly 200 adult volunteer mentors.

Programs and Services Offered

Free Arts provides three different programs:

Mentorship for children and mentorship for families that restores resiliency, self-esteem, coping and communication skills through an 8-12 week creative arts program faciliated by adult mentors, which hours are based on after school programs.

Courthouse program restores self-esteem, hope and resiliency in children as they endure a day long wait at court to testify in front of a judge, who determines where they will live. These children have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. Hours are from 9:00am-12:00pm Mon-Fri , and 12:30pm-3:00pm Mon-Thur
