The program is designed in residencies with modules for grades K-12. Each lesson incorporates the students own cultural knowledge while introducing them to values other than their own. Participants are supported to interpret the integrated information with experiential work in art, design, music, writing, mathematics, dance, performance and public presentation.

Residencies are designed to take place in classrooms, parks, studios and other community venues. At the conclusion of each residency participants take part in a culminating activity in the Los Angeles Carnival and Festival of Arts.

This program provides cross-cultural arts experiences for students from socially underserved and culturally underexposed communities. Students learn skills across a wide spectrum of disciplines while they explore their creativity and learn about different cultural values. Participants are also introduced to opportunities to enhance their skills with options of pursuing careers in the creative industries.
