Coming together happened at Angelica Center for Arts and Music in 2010. Seven teaching artists met with twenty students during a three day week for students to take seven classes. A Beginning!
Staying together over the next seven years saw the number classes grow to 33 and being offered twice a week. Fourteen teaching artists now deliver arts instruction to over 225 students. Progress!
Working together in classes, in ensembles and recitals, students have achieved success! In 2016 students have
participated in 14,200 classes
performed in 15 public concerts
performed at 8 events
As we head into our eighth year, we at ACAM are grateful to you, our supporters, for helping us provide quality arts education to the children in Pico Union.
