Support the arts!
Pulse Arts supports local, professional artists, educators, and arts organizations in the design and implementation of programs that increase access to creative learning opportunities for under-served youth in California. We believe that ART is for ALL as a necessity and not an option. We intentionally seek out micro-communities and students least likely to have a vibrant, supported art practice and co-create the discipline that best encourages their growth.
Pulse Arts is committed to keeping arts in schools funded, empowering young people with tools to address social issues, pursue creative careers, and ignite community change through the arts, integrating arts programs, and art therapy. We also offer internships/mentorship, dual-enrollment studio art support, gifted/magnet arts identification support, art therapy, and community/family engagement arts experiences.
We hold that art intersects every facet of life and want to link the most vulnerable communities as early, as often, and as close to home as possible.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion Statement
Pulse Arts openly embraces the rich tapestry of people that make California unique. With respect to racial, cultural and gender equity, and ensuring that we do not fall into the traps of agism, ableism, homophobia or transphobia, our hiring practices, policies and programming reflect the unique diversity of our state. We believe that equity means listening and responding to the specific needs of the people and communities we serve.
The arts are a necessity, interwoven and affixed to every facet of life and culture. We strongly believe that the healing power of creativity should not be reserved for the privileged. Our team of professional creatives is committed to arts impact projects that promote social justice and address the needs of overlooked, underserved, and marginalized communities. Find our full statement below.
Our programs provide students and community members with the opportunity to learn from professional artists, develop their skills, and create their own work.
Testimonials

Durante los últimos 3 años que trabajé en Audubon Middle School, vi la pasión que tenía Pulse Art al traer sus programas de arte y maestros para enseñar a nuestros estudiantes. Escuchaba a los estudiantes decir: "Aprendo toneladas de cosas nuevas en la clase de arte". La plataforma que Pulse Art les dio a los estudiantes la oportunidad de conectarse con sus habilidades artísticas fue realmente invaluable, y no había visto otros programas lograr eso en Audubon.
Aide R.Community Representative Audubon MS
I absolutely love Pulse Arts programming. I've recommended them to provide Professional Development and integrated art programs. When their teachers come into the classroom everyone's imagination and creativity runs wild. Students and teachers can express themselves in ways that feel comfortable and safe. The teaching artists are professional and patient and have taught me various techniques that I have utilized in not just my classes, but in other areas of my work. I will continue to recommend their programming to school sites.
