FOUNDED IN 2014 BY ARCHITECT FRANK GEHRY AND ADVOCATE MALISSA SHRIVER, TURNAROUND ARTS: CALIFORNIA IS BASED ON THE PILOT TURNAROUND ARTS PROGRAM OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. WE PARTNER WITH 26 PUBLIC ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING 750+ EDUCATORS AND 14,000+ STUDENTS ANNUALLY. THROUGH OUR WHOLE-SCHOOL ARTS-INTEGRATION PROGRAM, WE HELP TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS USE THE ARTS TO (1) IMPROVE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING (2) CREATE ARTS-RICH SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS AND (3) ENGAGE FAMILIES IN THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION.
