“Art, music, dance and theater performance are essential components in any well-rounded education,” Mr. Ridley-Thomas said.
“We need more centers of artistic learning, expression and mastery for our young people like the AVPA.
“Visual and performing arts enable teachers to help our students to explore their potential.
“They also inspire an audience through the use of film, the spoken word and theater,” Mr. Ridley-Thomas said.
“They help to refine their ability to communicate complex thoughts emotionally through art, dance and music. I salute the faculty, students, parents and sponsors of AVPA for keeping arts education alive and thriving in our Culver City school system.
