Arnhold A&L Education Initiative A&L’s mission – educate, entertain, inspire – received a big boost from Jody & John Arnhold this past season with a new three-year commitment to create the Arnhold A&L Education Initiative. 1
Through this initiative, A&L has already begun to deepen its signature cross-campus collaborations, connecting featured guests with students in the classroom.

“The Arnhold Education Initiative enabled thousands of UCSB students access to many extraordinary arts events. Without the Arnholds, many first- and secondgeneration college students, or non-arts majors would have had no access to some of today’s most important artists. Some students had never been to the theater in their lives. They told their whole families what they saw, what it meant to them. For faculty, the Arnhold Initiative is fundamental to our ability to teach and to our students’ hope to become like the artists they see on the stage.”
– Professor Ninotchka Bennahum, Director of Dance Studies, Department of Theater and Dance
