MEDIA ARTS EDUCATION + MENTORING
Developing Next Gen Storytellers
Venice Arts’ programs are designed to develop the next generation of Los Angeles' storytellers and visual media artists. From beginning workshops, to Advanced Studies’ programs offering college-level classes, our standards-aligned curriculum teaches photography, filmmaking, animation, and sequential arts to young people ages 10-18. We offer a dynamic, experiential learning environment, with no more than 12 kids in a class and an artist-to-youth ratio of 1:3. our high-impact programs foster creativity, arts knowledge and skills, and visual, digital, and media literacy.
“I discovered my love for animation, and I’ve met great people who have supported my goals, and who still continue to support me.”
All programs are free to low-income families and are offered after-school and on weekends, during the academic year, and through an intensive Summer Media Arts Camp. Youth ages 10–18 enroll in photography, filmmaking, animation, comics, and multimedia. A special "Bridge" program is also available for Venice Arts' alumni, ages 18-22.
