Fox Cultural Hall (formerly Arts For The Schools) is a bi-state 501 (c)3 non-profit that fundamentally believes that access and exposure to the arts is essential for all. Fox Cultural Hall fills the gaps in visual and performing arts education for more than 10,000 children at K-12 schools and provides access to artistic excellence for the public. Since 1984, Fox Cultural Hall has encouraged children and adults to create, perform, learn, lead, understand and discover.
We operate seven programs. Three of the programs are for students, the Performing Arts program, the Visual Arts program, and the community school progam. Our four community programs include onSTAGE Live, arTRAIN, the Mural Project, and the Mexican Heritage Festival. Today Fox Cultural Hall serves 25 regional schools in California and Nevada and dozens of communities in our service area spanning two states and four counties.
History
Founded in 1984 by Terry Yagura, Arts For The Schools (now Fox Cultural Hall) sought to address the decline in arts programming in schools - one of the unintended consequences of the 1978 ratification of California's Proposition 13, which drastically reduced educational funding statewide. As a result, schools in the region now rely on Fox Cultural Hall to provide arts education programming for over 10,000 regional students each year.
