REACHING OUT
HELPING THE WIDER COMMUNITY!
South Bay Hands on Art also offers our Reaching Out program to bring art education to under-served schools and community centers in the Los Angeles area. Through Reaching Out, our docents and volunteers are able to give young students and high schoolers a fun introduction to art and hopefully spark a lifelong passion.
