Dear Friend of Hollywood Arts,
Thank you for your interest in and support of
Hollywood Arts. The mission of Hollywood Arts is
to save young lives through art. We provide arts
experiences to at-risk, runaway and homeless
teenagers to keep them off the streets, build their
self-esteem, and eventually help transition them out
of homelessness to jobs.
Your support and your encouraging thoughts
keep us going.
Thank you.
Dylan Kendall
Executive
Director

I believe Hollywood Arts has the capacity to really
change the Hollywood landscape. Hollywood Arts
provides a place for runaway and homeless teenagers
that is both constructive and meaningful for them--
encouraging them to believe in themselves
and get off the streets.
As a musician, I understand personally the
transformative power of the arts and I see
Hollywood Arts as an innovative solution to a
challenging problem.

Founder Dylan Kendall sits down with
Hollywood Arts' board member and KCET Life and
Times producer Vicki Curry to discuss Hollywood
Arts, being a ceramist and how the arts save
lives.
Hollywood Arts claims to save lives--that's a pretty strong statement. How does an art center save lives?
We at Hollywood Arts believe very deeply in the
power of creativity to heal and to provide pathways
