Please continue to contribute and consider raising the amount if you are able. The new Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the DCA City of Los Angeles, the CA Arts Council and the Don Knabe Arts Education grants are all matching grants, and go towards the TriArt Festival in September and new school residencies in the fall.
We are grateful for recent school activities funded by Don Knabe's Educational Partnership Grant and by LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, but your contributions can bring us to any location in LA or Santa Barbara County (or further).
