We fund arts
lessons!
Each year, the Foundation, in partnership with the Fullerton School
District, provides funding for lessons in art, music, dance and
theatre. These lessons reach each of our kindergarten through sixth
grade children at the seventeen elementary schools with innovative,
curriculum-related arts experiences conducted by professional artists.
We
fund the Arts Learning Activities Bus (Arts LAB)!
We have transformed two surplus school buses into mobile, digital
arts studios. Students across the District are guided by skilled
artist/educators to make short movies about what they are learning
in their classrooms. The science of technology coupled
with the wonder and beauty of art awakens young minds and stimulates
imaginations with remarkable success. Maybe you have seen the
Arts Lab Busses around Town or In the news.

We help raise funds to support the elementary
instrumental music program!
Every fifth and sixth grade student in the Fullerton School District
is offered the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument.
Students receive instruction as part of the regular school day,
perform several concerts a year, and experience the joy of expressing
themselves in the universal language of music!

We fund the World Harmony Music Bus!
Our World Harmony Music Bus is on the road bringing music to
the children of Fullerton! We have equipped a surplus school
bus with instruments from around the world and are enticing
children to experience the universal language of music in a
way that will truly stay with them for the rest of their lives!
In addition to the various instruments on board, our Music
Bus is equipped with computerized composing stations, a library
of music from all corners of the world and some fabulous recording
technology! Heartfelt thanks to our amazing donors who have
made this possible!
We
fund the Children's Arts Museum and Creativity Center!
Interactive displays invite children into the world
of learning through the arts. These hands-on exhibits will be
designed to feed children's imaginations while they experience
many of the world's great creations. Once their intellects have
been nurtured, children will be given the opportunity to use
the exhibits as motivation for their own creative projects.

We fund teacher grants!
Every year classroom teachers are awarded grants from the Foundation
so that they can add the magic of the arts to academic lessons. The
grants have funded kid-created murals, pageants, choruses,
plays, puppeteer troupes, and much, much more.

We spread the word!
The Foundation seizes every possible opportunity to educate business
and community leaders, the public, parents, and educators about
the importance of an arts education in the life of a child.
We transform children's lives!
