La Mesa Arts Academy

Donation protected
La Mesa Arts Academy was created by the community coming together to solve a problem. The problem: very little visual or performing arts offered by the public school system and families with limited resources to provide children with after-school opportunities. Solution: the community came together to create La Mesa Arts Academy which provides visual and performing arts classes after school for the children of La Mesa Elementary School to experience the arts through non-violent self-expression. We offer classes in pottery, painting & drawing, weaving, woodworking, sculpting, jewelry, recycled arts, dance, drama, guitar, rockband, and more -- by skilled teachers from the community. The collaborators: La Mesa Presbyterian Church, La Mesa Elementary School faculty, a University of New Mexico Arts Education class, local artists and teachers and community members offering their time, talents, and expertise. The result: a quality arts education experience that other neighborhoods are trying to duplicate! Any amount is appreciated. A donation of $150.00 sponsors one student for a semester of creative arts learning.
