Thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate 25 years of artworxLA. 25 years!

Together, as a community of caring supporters, we have established a powerful creative pathway for our county’s most vulnerable young people to thrive.

Over the past 25 years, we have brought the arts into alternative education classrooms across Los Angeles County to re-engage our students in their education and to see a path forward. We have created a pathway that begins inside their alternative education classroom in their neighborhoods and connects them to the many resources that Los Angeles has to offer, but that too often is out of reach.

Over these 25 years, our students have shifted their trajectories from dropping out to re-connecting to their education and their future. By including our students’ voices in our city’s conversations, we as a community listen to different perspectives, we hear different points of view and we understand that we need to embrace more inclusive practices. This inclusivity is our strength.

We are proud of our students’ accomplishments, which are even more extraordinary when you know of the tremendous obstacles they have faced in their young lives. But tonight we are celebrating their tenacity, their resiliency and their gifts more than focusing on the challenges they have faced. This resiliency is an asset to celebrate.

Thank you for walking with us these many years. Together we have made a difference in so many lives.

Creativity opens up new pathways, and together we make a promise to our young people that their future is full of hope.

With gratitude,

Cynthia Campoy Brophy Executive Director & Founder artworxLA

PAIGE GOLDBERG TOLMACH HONOREE Filmaker, Entrepreneur & Activist Soon after his birth, Paige Goldberg Tolmach’s son Jackson developed a severe case of eczema. Unable to find relief or answers in traditional treatments, Paige began looking for environmental causes. Only after making dramatic lifestyle changes— ridding her home and medicine cabinet of environmental toxins—did she cure her son. Determined to help other parents and children avoid what her family had gone through, Paige founded THE LITTLE SEED in 2007, a one stop eco conscious store in Los Angeles which helped raise awareness about the dangers of toxic chemicals in our homes. In 2009, The Little Seed helped Seventh Generation launch their “Million Baby Crawl” which demanded that Congress change federal laws to keep toxic chemicals out of our homes. In 2010, she and her partner collaborated with Target to bring The Little Seed’s eco sensibility and eco awareness to the masses.

A leading expert on environmental toxins and their effects on children, Tolmach has been featured in several television, online and print media including CNN, Big Ideas for a Small Planet, The Los Angeles Times, People, Cookie Magazine, Babble.com, and TheCradle.com. Continuing to advocate for children, Paige is currently working on her first documentary feature about her high school’s cover up of the sexual abuse of many male students at the hands of the school’s coach in the 1980’s.

artworxLA celebrates Paige and Matt’s commitment to storytelling and the creative economy of Los Angeles and their long time support and commitment to artworxLA students.

Matt Tolmach is currently producing the highly anticipated feature film reimagining of Jumanji directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black; as well as Rock That Body, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jillian Bell and Kate McKinnon, both of which are currently in post production for Sony Pictures. Jumanji will be released over Christmas of this year; Rock That Body will be released in June. He previously produced The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 directed by Marc Webb, as well as Alex Gibney’s The Armstrong Lie. He and Frank Marshall are executive producing the documentary “What Haunts Us,” directed by Paige Tolmach. For television, Tolmach is executive producing the Hulu series “Future Man,” with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. As President of Columbia Pictures for many years, Tolmach oversaw some of the studio’s most acclaimed and successful films, including Moneyball, The Pursuit of Happyness, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Zombieland, Step Brothers, The DaVinci Code, 2012, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, and many others. He and Paige are also coproducing a son, Jackson Tolmach, who is ten.

OCTAVIA SPENCER HONOREE Actress and Author One of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents, Octavia Spencer has become a familiar fixture on both television and the silver screen.

Octavia’s performance as Dorothy Vaughan has earned her SAG, Golden Globe, NAACP Image Award and Academy Award nominations. Spencer currently stars in Gifted and can be found in upcoming The Shack.

artworxLA salutes Octavia’s commitment to arts education and youth development for Los Angeles’ youth.

MISSION

artworxLA, formerly The HeArt Project, envisions a world where all alternative high school students graduate from high school, thrive into adulthood, and propel all society with their unique creativity.

artworxLA combats the epidemic high school dropout crisis by engaging students in a long-term, sequential arts program offering a pursuable life path that inspires them to stay in school, evolve as unique individuals and flourish as creative adults.

WE ACHIEVE THIS BY

CORE VALUES

— ­­­creatively educating alternative high school teenagers with sustained arts exposure and immersion; — ­­­connecting students to a network of peers, artists, cultural partners, higher education, creative industries, and supportive adults; and — ­­­investing human and financial resources around ongoing, persistent student and alumni support.

— Alternative high school students are intelligent, creative and powerful people. They possess the capacity to meet the highest expectations and are full of creative impulse.

— art is indispensable, enables us to communicate, and inspires an empathetic society.

— cultivating effective partnerships between artists, educators and community organizations amplifies our collective impact on the students we serve.

— our society is stronger and more inclusive when our students have full and equal access to its resources and can contribute their own voice.

— lasting change in our students and communities requires long-term investment.

— successful work in the community starts with a creative, participatory and respectful artworxLA workplace.

010 about artworxLA

ABOUT

FROM HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT TO ENGAGED GRADUATE While California’s graduation rate reached 82% in 2015, rates for Los Angeles’ continuation high school students can be as low as 10%. These students are disengaged and struggling with life circumstances that push school attendance far down their priority list. Without a diploma, they will earn $500,000 less than a graduate over a lifetime and are six times more likely to be incarcerated or enter the criminal justice system – 82% of U.S. inmate are high school dropouts. The negative effects extend well beyond these students and their families, as the state loses $1 billion in lost tax revenue and incurs $1 billion in incarceration costs.

THE ARTWORXLA LADDER

A LADDER TO CLIMB

Each year, artworxLA brings a “ladder” of arts-based dropout prevention programs to approximately 650 students enrolled in 27 alternative high school classrooms across L.A. County. In partnership with working artists, cultural centers, art venues and institutions of higher learning, our structure of progressive arts opportunities offers promising youth at risk of dropping out of high school the chance to re-engage in their education and reclaim their future.

ALUMNI HIGHLIGHTS The alumni below successfully climbed artworxLA’s “ladder” of arts programs and stay active through artworxLA’s Advanced Programs.

We are proud to share their successes with you.

JOANNA FARIAS Before joining artworxLA at Central High School-All People’s, Joanna lost interest in school due to large class sizes and lack of diversity in the courses provided. Inspired by her experiences in artworxLA dance and theatre classes, she joined Advanced Program residencies for two consecutive years at the Bootleg Theatre and earned a scholarship with Contra-Tiempo Dance Company. Each experience gave Joanna a newfound conviction toward broadening her education. Joanna is currently studying biology at Los Angeles City College, and plans on becoming a veterinarian.

STEPHEN NA Stephen Na graduated from artworxLA’s Hollywood Media Arts Academy (HMAA) in 2013.

After graduating, he was encouraged to enroll at Santa Monica College where he continued studying art. Inspired by the animation and design aesthetics of Asia, he explores character development and environmental concepts, merging his broad interests of biology, chemistry, astrology, ancient history, and historical science. Stephen is currently enrolled at ArtCenter College of Design full-time and is taking classes in painting and composition, design, materials, and humanities. He is in the process of choosing his major, and is leaning towards entertainment arts, with a focus on animation film production.

STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS

student highlights

VINCENT AVILA Before joining artworxLA in 2015, Vincent was so unmotivated by his high school courses that he fell behind in credits. Vincent’s passion for school was reignited by a filmmaking workshop with artworxLA. Inspired by this experience, he went on to participate in Advanced Programs residencies with ArtCenter College of Design, Otis College of Art and Design, and the Actors’ Gang. Vincent plans on attending a four-year college to pursue a career in law, while exploring his interest in photography.

ZION GALVAN Zion Galvan joined our artistic programming at Amelia Earhart in the Fall of 2016. Before joining artworxLA, Zion moved constantly from school to school until he was introduced to an 11-week workshop with Irina Contreras.

BRISA NAVARRETE Before joining artworxLA, Brisa’s interests in attended school decreased because her classes were far from home and the courses took were very dis-engaging.

DOMINIQUE LAWHEAD Prior to joining artworxLA, Dominique was unmotivated with school and battled with self-esteem issues.

Eager to explore her creative talents, she’s planning on taking summer residencies with ArtCenter College of Design, UCLA and Otis College.
