The ArtsCOOL Program was developed in 2002 as a partnership between CAP and the Los Angeles Unified School District Arts Education Branch and Educational Options Program. Currently, ArtsCOOL offers programming at 20 Options High Schools in Los Angeles County. These schools each receive 30 weeks of arts programs which meet once-a-week for two hours per class. The classes are taught by teams of CalArts faculty artists, current CalArts students and CalArts alumni who share their expertise in visual arts, writing, film/video, and the performing arts. The schools are located throughout Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, South Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Hollywood, Venice, Pacific Palisades, Carson, Huntington Park, Westchester, and downtown Los Angeles areas. Hundreds of high school students participate in the culminating performances and exhibition held annually at California Institute of the Arts, Plaza de la Raza, REDCAT (The Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater) located in the Walt Disney Concert Hall Complex, and other venues. The performances in this video are of the Afro-Cuban and Brazilian Drumming and Dance classes at Eagle Tree High School, Robert Lewis High School, and Ramona High School
