Venice Arts

Venice arts' mission is to ignite, expand, and transform the lives of los angeles' low-income youth through photography and film education, and to use our participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world. We do this by building creative equity for low-income youth through media arts education, college success, and creative career pathway programs where we put creativity at the center of youth development. Our programs build skills, knowledge, and self-efficacy, while maximizing our participants' ability to find the resiliency necessary to thrive, even in the face of racism, class marginalization, and/or immigration status.
