The mission of the Visual and Performing Arts Education (VAPAE) Program is to expose UCLA undergraduates to the theories and practices of arts education, and provide UCLA students experiential opportunities to bring culturally sustaining arts education into schools and communities throughout Los Angeles. VAPAE’s research and practice is built upon the belief that the arts should be a part of every child’s whole and complete education, regardless of circumstance or zip code. VAPAE builds and shares knowledge to highlight the importance of arts education in a diverse society, and investigates the impact of innovative coursework and arts curricula on local communities, schools, youth and families. Since its inception in 2010, VAPAE has impacted over 30,000 youth and adults, working with over 50 K-12 schools, and partnering with 25 campus and community organizations in the Los Angeles area. As an undergraduate academic program, VAPAE has graduated over 130 students with a minor in Arts Education.
