Our LAUSD family loves the Eastside Arts Festival!
Rory Pullens
The Executive Director of Arts Education in LAUSD
The growth of this festival over the years reflects our community's appreciation and understanding of the importance of the arts. I am so glad you are supporting this celebratory festival that highlights what our LAUSD students are gaining from their artistic exposure and instruction. But don't let this one festival be the only time that you witness such student artistic expression. Make it a point to support arts in every way you possibly can so that all students can live an arts rich life.

The East Los Angeles Arts Festival experience is phenomenal for our community of students, schools and families. Our kids have performed at two of the annual festivals, and they leave feeling accomplished and appreciated as visual and performing artists. They understand that all of their hard work led them to a culminating performance at this breathtakingly beautiful festival. They also get the grand opportunity to see the incredibly diverse arts experiences that are available to them as they progress from elementary to middle to high school in LAUSD.

Euclid Avenue Elementary School Music Teacher
I have had the good fortune of being able to take a large group of 4th and 5th graders from the school choir and the school's percussion ensemble to attend the Eastside Arts Festival in all three years it has been in existence so far. The students absolutely love it. They are both excited and have a feeling of pride being able to attend and perform at the festival. The students also equally love getting to be an audience member to all forms of the performing arts and participate in the wonderful workshops provided at the festival. The festival is organized extremely well and we hope to keep coming back year after year. The festival is such a great way for the kids to participate, learn, and gain interest in the arts as well as setting a wonderful example for being part of a positive community.
