The California Arts Council will meet on Wednesday, June 15, 2011, at Hattox Hall, which is part of the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center at Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, The Old Globe, 1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, CA 92101, (619) 231-1941. The meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at approximately 5:00 p.m.

The contrast between Leimert Park's cultural assets and its economic struggles has drawn LA Commons to the neighborhood as a long-term partner in its community-based arts programs. Since 2004, LA Commons has developed public art projects with local artists and youth and produced workshops and events to bring visitors to the area.  SEE STORY.

Four graduate student volunteers are sought to help staff the Arts Education Partnership conference. This will be a great experience for students interested in careers in research, policy and/or arts education!
