We are joined today by art powerhouse Carmen Guerrero, founder of Culture Coalition and Representative Isela Blanc of District 26. Our talk today is focused on the profound impact of arts in the lives of K-12 students.

What happens when Danny Morales, owner of CYPERS The Center for Urban Arts come together with Representative Cesar Chavez? We discover the impact of Hip Hop changing lives of youth, the community it brings, and resilient, authentic creativity. Legislative District 29 encompasses West Glendale and North Avondale and has the largest population of Hispanics in the state. 

Today we are joined by two influential art leaders of the past decade Rusty Foley and Bob Booker. They give us keen insight and wisdom for the arts landscape that we operate today.
