East Side Community Arts offers youth of East San Jose free summer arts activities led by teachers and artists as a means of fostering community and confidence.

What We Do

We provide a safe, local environment for students to engage their creativity and explore their imaginations.

Elementary and middle school students in East San Jose enjoy half-day art programming, 100% free of charge.

High school students entering grades 10 and above are invited to participate as Youth Mentors for our summer arts program.

We are fiscally sponsored by a 501c(3) nonprofit organization and rely entirely on donations from individuals and grants.
