All students in grades four and up are welcome to attend. Students do not have to be currently enrolled in the Orange County High School of the Arts to participate. Join us this year--paint, dance, write, film, sing, design, act, play an instrument--get inspired today! The cost to participate in these programs varies per program and class.
These are a few examples of some of the programs and classes which may be offered:

At the California ARTS Center, our mission is to provide students of all socioeconomic levels with an opportunity to explore a wider range of art curriculum's than may be available during the normal school day. Classes are held on the campus of the Orange County High School of the Arts, so the California ARTS Center is the perfect introduction for students interested in attending the school.
