This holiday season, we want to share with you three heart-warming stories of how the Ryman Arts program nourishes our students’ passion for the arts and fosters the next generation of artists. The impact of Ryman Arts begins in the studio classrooms, like in Emily C.’s story, and extends into a lifelong connection with the arts, as seen with our recent alumna Bailey S. (Ryman ’18) and our longtime alumnus and supporter Kevin C. (Ryman ’06).

In addition to high quality fine art instruction, college and career counseling, and supportive services to talented high school students, Ryman Arts also provides unique opportunities for students and alumni to experience the thriving creative industry of Southern California.

By Mayra Moran (Ryman '10) 

As a Ryman Arts alumna of 2010, Mayra Moran reflects on her experiences in the program 8 years later and how it has shaped her personally, academically, and professionally. Inspired by her time at Ryman Arts, Mayra is pursuing a creative and socially engaging career. Today, she has contributed to the public art landscape of Los Angeles by creating murals for non-profits including Global GLOW, Wise Readers to Leaders, and Compton Initiative to produce a positive change in her community.
