Free Arts for Abused Children (Los Angeles)

Free Arts Los Angeles uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 5-18 who have experienced abuse, poverty, neglect and/or homelessness. In addition, Free Arts provides art to children in hospitals and communities who do not have access to art programs.

Through art, Free Arts works alongside Edmund D. Edelman Children’s Court, Memorial Care Hospital Long Beach, Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Children's Law Center (CLC). schools, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, and other community agencies serving disadvantaged children in underserved communities.
