Just a few of the webinars the LPAC Foundation will participate in over the coming months in support of Arts Education within our community. With so many families struggling through these difficult times, the arts are more important than ever. The arts touch our emotional core, whether it is song or dance or drama or drawing. The arts can connect the mind and the spirit and help guide children from crisis to confidence. Multiple studies show how arts education not only decreases feelings of anxiety and depression but also improves all-around academic performance. The Foundation stands firm and continues to actively support and advocate performing arts education for the youth of our community.

The LPAC Foundation will be participating in tomorrow's webinar exploring new strategies in serving our community's youth!

BIG NEWS! The LA County Board of Supervisors passed a motion today to adopt the "Arts for All Children, Youth, and Families: Los Angeles County’s New Regional Blueprint for Arts Education," which overhauls the 2002 Regional Blueprint for Arts Education. Where the 2002 Blueprint focuses exclusively on K-12 arts education, this new Blueprint presents an expanded approach with strategies that reach beyond schools to include arts instruction for all students, across all grade lev...els, in all public schools; expanded opportunities for arts education after school; year-round community-based arts learning; access to careers in the creative economy; arts-based programs and services provided in collaboration with multiple LA County departments that support children, youth, and families; and a prioritization of historically underserved populations.

The Foundation holds Performing Arts Education at the forefront of our mission during this time of distance learning. Creativity is not optional, it is essential. Creativity should be accessible to our youth. Creativity heals hearts and minds in times of crisis. As we navigate through what the arts will look like in the near and distant futures the Foundation will continue to strive to support Arts for Youth within our community!

Tomorrow the LPAC Foundation will participate in a day long Virtual Arts Advocacy Seminar hosted by the California Arts Council to advocate support for the performing arts in our community. Programs such as the Lancaster Performing Arts Center's Arts for Youth program are being greatly effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Arts community is facing an unprecedented fiscal crisis threatening the reduction of vital cultural and educational opportunities for our youth. The Foundation understands the impact arts education has on our valley's students and will continue to work hard ensuring these essential programs continue to succeed!

Warmest wishes from the Lancaster Performing Arts Center Foundation! We hope this post finds you well and safe at home. Just as yourselves, the Foundation is continuing to adapt to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation and its impact on our community and local businesses. In response to this unprecedented time and with respect to our cherished donors and sponsors who too are facing uncertain times, the Foundation has made the difficult decision to postpone the Annual Gala a...nd Grand Auction which was calendared for Saturday, June 13 at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center. At this time there is no re-scheduled date but rest assured, we are looking forward to celebrating good health and new beginnings with our resilient community in the near future! Until then, the Foundation would like to once again recognize and THANK last year's Gala and Grand Auction sponsors...your support provided live performing arts programming to over 15,000 local youth including ticket scholarships, transportation grants, and workshops. We hope when this cloud lifts we will continue to do amazing and wondrous work together in supporting performing arts education in our community!
