Community

As a nonprofit organization one of our goals is to support our community through the arts.
We enjoy a myriad of partnerships with local groups who bring art, social awareness, creative activity, and health to Southern California. We volunteer for and help to build community events. Our work continues with Conejo Recreation and Park District, Rotary International, Meals on Wheels, Manna, Bowls of Hope, local festivals, universities, and much more.
