Light Bringer Project

We had an incredible ACI Day on October 15th 🦅 9-12th grade students who are a part of the Academy for Creative Industries engaged with workshops led by professionals in the workforce 🎭🎨🎬 Each professional is a part of the creative industry of today and offered practical skills, tools, resources, and advice for students pursuing a similar career pathway. We are so grateful for our connection and partnership with Marshall staff, students, and workshop leads.

A special thank you to .pisano for leading a workshop!

We are one week away from ✨ Join us on Friday October 18th from 6:00-10:00 p.m. at our special outdoor location 🏡 Come experience the art work of Matthew Silva and storytelling of Zoot Velasco

Thank you for sharing your story and artwork with students .camad.vada 🎨 It was so inspiring to hear the ways community can uplift and open doors for folks, especially aspiring artists. We honor your gifts, time, and resources for our students!

This Friday the 13th meet our Room 13 Artists-in-Residence! They are invaluable to our team and mission, and support our students’ creative endeavors by cultivating safe spaces in which they can explore their inner artist! Room 13 is supported, in part, by a generous grant from Pasadena Tournament of Roses Foundation, along with Pasadena Arts League, PUSD and other local contributors 🌎🎨

The heart of Light Bringer Project is to build the creative workforce of tomorrow. We do this through our year-round arts & education programs in Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area. We serve students at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels and they mean the world to us!

One of the most important aspects of art is the way that it brings the community together. We are always excited to put together the kind of local events that do just that! We strive to platform local artists, inspire would-be newcomers, and enrich the lives of art lovers. Whether it’s Doo Dah, Chalk, or Lit Fest, our goal is always to celebrate the beauty of artistic expression 🎨

Light Bringer Project would be nothing without its people! We are grateful for the unique leadership and creativity that this team fosters

We hope everyone had an amazing summer! Between our iconic Pasadena Chalk Festival, hosting our summer interns, and preparing our media relaunch, we here at Light Bringer Project have had an eventful few weeks. Keep an eye out for all the exciting things to come your way! ☀️

Still dreaming about this weekend- next year can't come fast enough! 😅

The free Pasadena Chalk Festival makes great art from the ground up It’s a new weekend for the long-running event, which is popping up a little later than usual in 2024.

Incredible time at the 31st Pasadena Chalk Festival Artist party! We had an absolute blast and got to celebrate Cynthia Lake who’s retiring after 3 decades as an art teacher and mentor at John Muir High School. Many of her students are now successful artists still chalking because of her. We are feeling inspired and ready for happening TOMORROW!!! 10 am! See you there at the Pasadena Convention Center for this amazing FREE event!

Light Bringer Project was so grateful to receive a generous grant for Room 13 creative studios for the coming school year, from the Tournament of Roses Foundation! The award was accepted by Jessica Lopez, our Program Manager and Tom Coston, president of the board, who was also in attendance. Congratulations to all our cohort nonprofits who were there receiving awards. It was a true Pasadena treat to be in the Tournament House among all our friends in the community who do such important work.
