Home / About Ryman Arts

Ryman Arts, a nationally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, transforms lives by creating access and opportunity for a diverse community of young artists through rigorous education in fundamental art skills and mentoring – at no cost to the students. Almost all graduates go to college, many go on to work in the creative industries, and all are poised for personal success. A nationally recognized non-profit organization, Ryman Arts was founded in 1990 to honor the legacy of legendary Disney artist Herbert D. Ryman. It has served over 6,000 teens from 190 communities across Southern California in its core program, engaged over 21,000 students from low-income communities through outreach, and is committed to reaching students with the greatest need to ensure all young artists reach their full potential.
