bellas artes

Offering in-depth cultural arts education to residents of Dahlia Court, Chapel Court & Casas de Las Flores, Carpinteria, California.
a nonprofit program co-sponsored by Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center & Peoples’ Self-Help Housing

Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center

Provides volunteer instructors, book-keeping services, insurance, grant writing (for supplies, materials & guest performer costs), publicity, and annual exhibition opportunities at their gallery. Many Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center members sponsor our program as volunteer instructors, materials and refreshment donors, and through special monetary donations to Bellas Artes.

Peoples' Self Help Housing

Provides the workshop sites, publicity and participant registration. Bellas Artes works closely with the PSHH managers, PSHH Learning Center teachers and residents. Residents donate their time preparing refreshments and lunches, and assisting with instruction, clean up, etc. Learning Center teachers provide links to special performers & events. PSHH managers make sure we all have what we need.

All ages are welcome. All materials are provided. All expenses gratis. These are founding principals of the bellas artes program. Thus “volunteerism” is an essential component. Volunteers are indeed important sponsors of the bellas artes program.
