We believe the future is creative. Support young artists this #GivingTuesday.

It is thanks to supporters like you that CSSSA—the California State Summer School for the Arts—makes a difference, nurturing creativity and community for talented teens.

Donate today and help reach our #GivingTuesday goal of $25,000 to support CSSSA programs! CSSSA Foundation supports creative teens through outreach and diversity initiatives, visiting artist residencies, college and career access, tuition scholarships, and more!

Are you a CSSSA alum? You can help raise awareness by sharing how your CSSSA summer impacted your future! Did CSSSA help you hone your artistic voice or imagine a new college or career pathway? Share on social media with the hashtags #CSSSA and #theFutureisCreative.

The CSSSA community of students, families, arts patrons, and advocates inspire us to continue working to make arts education accessible to all. Thank you!


On this #GivingTuesday we kick off our giving campaign for summer school 2024! Now more than ever, talented California teens need your support.

By supporting this campaign, you give young artists access to the transformative CSSSA summer school experience and open new doors to college and career possibilities. 

Empower the next generation of change-makers to lead with creativity, confidence, and resilience. Your gift matters. From $5 to $5,000, you make an impact - give today!
