Who We Are
Our Story
All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation began as an innovative arts education program in the Fullerton School District. For more than 30 years, expert artist/educators taught art, music, dance and theatre lessons to EACH of the more than 10,000 elementary students in Fullerton’s schools EVERY year. In partnership with California State University, Fullerton, our success in developing and nurturing creativity was studied and validated. The Foundation has broadened to inspire creativity in children, adults and new communities!
​
Our Vision
We envision a world where the arts are woven into everyday life across generations, cultures, and communities—where children, youth and adults create, learn, and celebrate together, and where access to the arts is not a privilege but a shared community value.
Our Mission
Our mission is to nurture creativity and joyful learning through the arts.
​
The All the Arts for All the Kids Foundation is an independent organization dedicated to developing, sustaining, and supporting the arts as everyone's birthright.

"Every person deserves to shine, and why not start at Elementary school?
Who knows, one of the kids might become the next Da Vinci or Shakespeare."
~ Miranda, FSD student
"I found I could say things with color and shapes
that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."
~ Georgia O'Keeffe
