This year our festival supports Free Arts for Abused Children. Free Arts uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and/or homelessness.
Free arts volunteers pair children with adult mentors who serve as a positive role model with whom the child has a beneficial, rather than traumatic relationship. Dance, music, drawing, painting, writing or other art forms gives children a chance for a better future. Today Free Arts provides creative arts programs to more than 22,000 children in Los Angeles annually. Programs are implemented by expert trained facilitators with the assistance of nearly 200 adult volunteer mentors, who donate more than 14,000 hours every year. Join us and support them with us. How? Simply get any festival ticket and 10% of the sales will go to Free Arts for Abused Children. Get any t-shirt at film festival and 100% of the sales will go to them as well. Mark Mos, founder of Los Angeles CineFest Thank you for reading this message.
