The Los Angeles Music and Art School (LAMusArt) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization whose mission is to offer the community of East Los Angeles, primarily its K-12 population, equitable and affordable access to multidisciplinary arts education programs and performance opportunities so students are afforded the skills and tools needed for success.
Since 1945, LAMusArt has remained dedicated to the provision of free and/or low-cost high quality, sequential arts instruction in music, art, dance and drama so that our community has the resources to experience creative achievement, collaboration and expression year round. Our diverse programs are designed to foster a creative community that embraces culture, and values arts education as an integral part of a child’s development. The school began by offering pay-what-you-can music lessons out of two Victorian homes in Boyle Heights before expanding into other disciplines, and subsequently moving to its current location in the 1960s. Today, LAMusArt boasts a diverse slate of immersive programs in music, art, dance and drama with over 100,000 students served.
