In partnership with The Music Center and Los Angeles Unified School District, we are excited to have celebrated the 45th Annual Very Special Arts Festival, a heartwarming event that embraces the talents of students with all abilities. With this year's theme, "Empowered by Arts," the festival showcased a range of student and professional performances, engaging workshops and an inspiring student art exhibit. This inclusive festival welcomed students from all grade levels

Districts such as Montebello Unified, Lynwood Unified, Culver City Unified, Long Beach Unified and more participated, offering a day filled with food, dancing, music, face painting, performances and arts and crafts. Students took the main stage and even had the crowd on their feet dancing to classic songs, cultural music and pop hits. The festival even featured on the spot drumming lessons. This annual event holds a special place in the community, celebrating diversity and the creative spirit of all students involved.
