Art Share L.A.


If you live in Southern California, have a few $ laying around, and want to contribute to a highly-successful youth outreach program, please consider giving a tax-free donation to ART SHARE LOS ANGELES:

Art Share Los Angeles is a community arts incubator whose mission is to shape lives through art, education and community action. ASLA brings workshops to the Los Angeles inner-city community and its children and families. We develop emerging professional visual and theater artists by providing living / work space, subsidized monthly exhibits and performance opportunities. Art Share nurtures the arts in all media from our 30,000 sq./ft. complex in the heart of downtown arts district. We take great pride in our successful approaches addressing the many social needs our community through the arts.

They do incredible work there, rescuing teens from a potential life of violence, crime and prison, by helping them develop lifeskills and providing education support, in a nurturing and challenging environment. Their success stories are truly inspiring. Bush Administration tax breaks for the wealthy have forced government funding for this program to dramatically drop, and they need financial help more than ever. You can't go wrong by helping an organization like this (many karma points are guaranteed).
