Click the video to hear Isaiahs' quick story about why he enjoys after school art...

For half of her life, Maria has attended After School Art Programs and Arts by the Sea Summer Camp at The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center. This summer, Maria joined 43 teen artists and adult volunteers to collaborate on the Teen Mural project. This year's theme "Imagine" offered a unique art experience, provided free of charge to local teens.

Your tax-deductible gift gives kids and adults the opportunity to express themselves through the arts & enriching social activities, just like Maria discovered at the Arts Center.

YOU have the power to make a difference. Your gift opens the door to endless possibilities for our community. IMAGINE a young artist, their eyes lighting up as they discover their creativity and learn to express themselves in a safe, nurturing space. PICTURE a widower finding joy and purpose again, forming new friendships as a welcoming gallery host. ENVISION a family facing financial hardships, their children laughing, creating, and building lifelong connections through scholarships that make after-school programs or camp experiences possible. YOUR GIFT can turn these dreams into reality. With your support, we are creating a vibrant community through the ARTS in Carpinteria!
