artworxLA is Part of a National Dialogue

artworxLA continues to be part of a national dialogue on arts education and community engagement, and this month has been a busy one for our team!

As a part of our multi-year grant from the Fund for Shared Insight / Listen for Good initiative, Raul Flores, artworxLA Artistic Director, and Cynthia Campoy Brophy, artworxLA Executive Director, were in Washington, D.C. last week to present progress on our evaluation efforts and connect with national grantees. Fund for Shared Insight is a collaborative effort among foundations that pools financials and other resources to improve philanthropy.

artworxLA was recommended for the Listen for Good grant by the Weingart Foundation and was awarded $60,000 over two years to incorporate student voice more deeply into our evaluation process.
