ABOUT OUR YOUTH ARTS PROGRAMS
With four schools within walking distance, we are truly at “The Center”. The Center has created our youth arts programs to support working families and children in the community. We continue to adapt and expand our Youth Arts Education programs to enrich the lives of students of all ages.
Family Fun Day
Offered twice a year, these are free all-day events geared toward families and introduces many young children in our community to their first-ever arts experience. We offer families the opportunity to participate in healthy art-based activities together, such as face painting, crafts, a balloon artist and other fun entertainment.
The Main Stage Playmakers
The Main Stage Playmakers provides a theater experience for children ages 7-15, and presents two productions a year. Notable performances include: Princess and the Pea, The Reluctant Dragon, Shrek and the Velveteen Rabbit.

Summer Camps & Seasonal Classes
Our Youth Arts Education Program provides arts-driven summer camp opportunities for kids to participate in a wide range of professionally guided and instructed art programs from Theater to Aerial, from Hip Hop to Improv – there’s a little something for your little artist at the Center!
Scholarships
We Have Scholarships available!
We are proud to offer over $10,000 in Scholarships for Summer Camps and Seasonal Classes in order to increase access to the arts for youth in our community. Thanks to LaVonne Amaral for being a keystone supporter of the Scholarship Program, along with the help of our Annual Youth Arts Sponsors and anonymous private donors.
Student Matinee Series
We began a new Student Matinee Series and are working with teachers to provide them study guides and access to quality theatrical productions. Produced in Partnership with the California Arts Council these programs are currently delivered online and provide educational entertainment for students in the classroom or at home.
