MORE ABOUT EFTA

Founded by the Department of Mental Health over 25 years ago, this prevention program is delivered by Light Bringer Project in partnership with Mental Health America of Los Angeles.

EFTA serves senior high school students across L.A. County who are challenged to develop visual and written forms of personal expression that address their key concerns and life ambitions.

The program culminates in an annual public exhibition and scholarship awards ceremony honoring outstanding student achievements.

LIGHT BRINGER PROJECT

Light Bringer Project is a nonprofit, Pasadena-based arts organization founded in 1990 by residents who were exploring the historic contributions that artists, architects, and craftsmen made to the local environment. Inspired by these achievements, its founders imagined ways to bring more of today’s artists and their creative resources into the mainstream of community life.

In keeping with its mission “to build community through the power of the arts,” Light Bringer Project has delivered a range of unique cultural arts programs and special events that utilize high-degrees of collaboration, volunteerism, and communitywide support. For its arts and learning efforts, the organization has received the California League of Cities’ Helen Putnam Award of Excellence in Public-Private Partnership. As an arts community participant, the organization was given the Gold Crown Award from the Pasadena Arts Council and has received an award of Outstanding Service from the City of Pasadena Arts Commission.

Doo Dah Paradeers!

To all our friends~! To the entries! You all did a fantastic thing, and we really appreciate it…

1^st parade in that area, and it had a great energy and feel–you made it happen.

We spoke to someone who said “People were absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t even dream about that…”

It really felt awesome out there. Thanks for your creativity, imaginariums, and sense of nonsense, we all needed it this year! I have at the end of this message a bunch of links to photographers and bloggers and websites–so you can see yourselves! I’ll keep you posted on more too. Thanks for all your kind messages.

And see you next time, be well,
