Most children’s courses include supplies while on campus, and if a course requires additional materials there is a supply list under the course description on the website; these materials can be purchased from Blick, Amazon, Michael’s, or any art supply store, and students may also use materials they already own.
Brentwood Art Center provides equitable community access to arts programming throughout the greater Los Angeles region and has increased participation from students in economically challenged and diverse areas of LA County. Recent community partners include UCLA’s Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Oncology, ArtworxLA, and the Al Wooten Jr Youth Center in South Los Angeles. Since 2014, Brentwood Art Center has worked with the Veterans Administrations in Westwood and Long Beach, providing visual literacy skills to veterans.
