Partial Filming at Chaparral!
Join FILM at LACMA for a screening of the standalone special “Arts Education” from KCET’s Emmy award-winning arts and culture documentary series ARTBOUND. "Arts Education" explores the value that arts education provides for all young people and communities as a foundation for an inclusive and economically vibrant society. Developed in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, the film features young poets from local organization Get Lit and professional artists that include Catherine Opie, Vijay Gupta, Hector Tobar, Debbie Allen, and Chloe Arnold sharing personal stories of how the arts have helped create a sense of belonging. ARTBOUND: Arts Education is a project of the Los Angeles County Arts Education Collective, developed by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture in partnership with KCET. Funding for this project was generously provided by the Stuart Foundation, the Moss Foundation, and the Los Angeles County Arts Education Collective Funders Council. (Text provided by KCET.)
