Kids & middle schoolers

Fulfilling our mission, MAFA supports these activities in the Monrovia area:

Kids

Kids Art Workshop at Foothill Unity Center Back to School Day
This annual daylong event at Santa Anita Racetrack provides 1,100 preregistered local K-12 children of very low income families with the backpacks, school supplies and clothing they need to start the school year with confidence. MAFA engages and educates the children with art projects all day long while their parents visit the various booths and pick up the school materials for their children.

Middle Schoolers

MAFA Supports Art Education at Clifton and Santa Fe Schools

Thanks to grants from the Reed Foundation for Art, MAFA has provided the following art experiences and resources for our middle schoolers since 2021:

• After school art classes by MAFA teaching artists
• Quarterly tudent art competitions and public gallery shows
• Art musuem field trips
• Art class materials
• "Art Fences": enlargements of student artwork on vinyl banners mounted on fencing surrounding the campuses
