About Ryman Arts
All Purchases from the Ryman Arts Store support the Students of Ryman Arts!
Ryman Arts teaches teens essential skills for art and life in a
rigorous, nurturing studio environment. The core program includes free
out-of-school sequential studio courses that emphasize advanced drawing
and painting skills, along with college and career planning. Courses,
taught by professional teaching artists, foster students’ artistic
development and personal confidence, and provide the knowledge they
need to pursue higher education and careers in the arts. Ryman Arts is
the only such program in southern California that is totally free and
that selects participants solely on the basis of their ability and
commitment. By doing so, Ryman Arts is able to serve talented youth
from a wide variety of backgrounds without regard to their family’s
financial status. Ryman Arts aims to inspire, nurture, and challenge
the next generation of artists to reach their potential.
