artworxLA, formerly The HeArt Project, combats L.A.'s epidemic high school dropout crisis with a long-term, sequential arts program. Mission artworxLA envisions a world where all students graduate from high school, thrive into adulthood, and contribute to society with their unique creativity. artworxLA aims to connect teens with art and the community that inspires them to stay in school and use creativity to rise from difficult circumstances. Company Overview artworxLA, formerly The HeArt Project, is a 501(c)(3) public charity that combats the high school drop out crisis with a long-term, sequential arts program. artworxLA provides educational resources, connects students to a supportive network of mentors and cultural partners, and invests human and financial resources to ensure their success. Our goal is to engage LA’s most vulnerable students with rigorous art programs. Description Founded in 1992, artworxLA is a Non-profit Organization dedicated to reengaging LA’s most vulnerable students through comprehensive and continual art programs. Cynthia Campoy Brophy founded The HeArt Project in 1992 as a response to the lack of arts education programs available for LA teens. After more than two decades, extensive program expansion, and a name change (now artworxLA), we continue to bring art to teenagers at the highest risk of dropping out. The top reason students give for dropping out of high school is lack of engagement. A key engager to reinvigorating students in their education is the arts. We have seen the impact it has had on so many students, and we know art works. 15 full time staff members along with several volunteer artists work together to inspire these teens.artworxLA Address
