Since our founding over sixty years ago, McGroarty Arts Center has had the honor of being a member of the Sunland-Tujunga community. Our symbiotic relationship with our students and patrons has only strengthened over the years. Our programs are funded by the generous donors who recognize the Center as a community centerpiece and a vital part of the under-represented arts community.

Students and families who donate $50 or more are entitled to early registration and other benefits. Donations and class fees are central to the Center’s funding and continued presence in the community. We are also privileged to receive substantial grants from a select number of wonderful foundations and organizations who have given to ensure that this beacon of artistic expression may continue to grow and prosper. Without the generosity of all of our donors, the Center would cease to exist. We thank you deeply for continuing to be a part of the McGroarty Arts Center family.

Get involved, donate!

McGroarty Arts Center thrives on the generous donations of our members and supporters. Each and every dollar we receive is carefully distributed to provide the maximum possible benefit to the people we serve. Especially during these difficult economic times, we know that our future depends entirely on the kindness of people like you.
