We are proud to announce that Eliot Middle School in Altadena, CA, has joined the international network of studios known as Room 13. The initiative was begun in Coal, Scotland, in 1994, by primary school students who decided to create their own self-sustaining art studio. Soon after, they influenced students in other countries to follow their lead.
In 2008, Light Bringer Project launched America’s first Room 13 studio in South Los Angeles, at James Foshay Learning Center. Room 13/Eliot is the second US studio, and the 25th worldwide.
For over 10 years, Light Bringer Project has been engaged in programs which have supported youth in greater Pasadena and across Los Angeles County. Our model is not to deliver arts teaching in the classroom, but to create and provide real-world learning experiences. These programs are designed to inspire, forge mentorships, build communication and life skills, and help students lift themselves up to higher learning and vocational opportunities.
Please go to “Programs and Services” for more information on Room 13, the Advertising and Design Academy, and Expressing Feelings Through Art.
