2022 was another year like no other for P.S. ARTS. We eased back into in-person learning, brought back our signature fundraiser event Express Yourself, welcomed new staff members, and expanded programs such as Educator Development all while still bringing high quality arts education classes to 25,000 students throughout Central and Southern California.
