Week Of Art

March is California Arts Education Month, and here in Mariposa, we’re celebrating with a Week of Art—a series of exciting events that showcase our vibrant youth arts scene while raising funds to support arts education in MCUSD classrooms. From live music and youth art showcases to poetry readings and an opening reception, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Throughout the week, we’re also raising $1,500 to provide teachers with the resources they need to bring creativity into their classrooms. 100% of donations will go directly towards art supplies for MCUSD students, ensuring every young artist has the tools to express themselves and explore their artistic potential. Donations will be accepted at all Week of Art events and online from March 10 – 16.

Join us in celebrating Mariposa’s young creatives and help us fill our classrooms with inspiration!
