Express Yourself is coming up on April 23! We’re excited to celebrate and enjoy art, performances, creative activities, raffle prizes, delicious food, and fun for the whole family – all in support of our arts education programs. Read on to see what we have planned for this year, and if you haven’t already secured your spot, don’t forget to get your tickets before they sell out!
This year, Express Yourself will feature 30 art booths with creative projects including felt sushi making, pottery, temporary tattoos, airbrushed Levi’s Kids jackets, a silent disco, printmaking, suncatchers, tie-dye, a tumbling gym and much more! We’ll also have three amazing artists, RETNA, Mary Lai, and Brady Smith live canvas painting that you can join in. You can also bring a piece of the event home with you by bidding on the completed canvases during our silent auction. We’re so excited to welcome the following booth sponsors and hosts:

We’re thrilled to share that Good Dirt LA pottery studio and Rachel Miriam will be returning to Express Yourself this year. Join us at the Good Dirt LA booth to make pinch pots (that you can take home right away or send off for firing) and shop locally made pottery at the event. Rachel Miriam’s personalized embroidery booth is also back and each child attending gets to design a complimentary bag. For the adults there will also be a limited number of personalized gifts available for sale with 30% of proceeds going back to P.S. ARTS.
In addition to our Express Yourself raffle, we will be introducing an online auction this year that will run from Thursday, April 20 to Monday, April 24. The auction will be open to everyone (including those who can’t make it to the event) and will feature incredible packages and items such as framed prints from Gray Malin, a stay at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, a private suite with P/S LAX, Rams tickets, and more. Keep an eye out for our social posts and an email with more details!
Don’t forget to grab some food and enjoy a live performance from the School of Rock band, and check out our raffle booth for amazing prizes! This year’s raffle items include art and fitness classes, gift cards to amazing local shops and restaurants, beauty and wellness experiences, home decor packages, summer camps, and much more.
