P.S. ARTS’ Express Yourself returns April 19 at Fox Studio Lot, celebrating creativity with art, performances, and activities supporting arts education.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As P.S. ARTS celebrates its 35th anniversary, its largest fundraiser of the year, Express Yourself, returns to the Fox Studio Lot on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 12–3 p.m. After canceling last year’s event due to the devastating L.A. wildfires that deeply impacted the community, P.S. ARTS is grateful to gather again in celebration of creativity, imagination, and connection through the arts. This family-friendly event will feature more than 20 interactive art booths, performances, creative activities for all ages, and an exciting raffle, all in support of P.S. ARTS’ nationally recognized, award-winning arts education programs in public schools. Express Yourself helps ensure that P.S. ARTS can continue advancing equity and opportunity for students in systemically under-resourced schools and communities.
Over 500 adults and children will have the opportunity to experience the same joy, creativity, and sense of belonging that more than 33,500 students and community members discover each year through P.S. ARTS programs. Guests can purchase individual tickets or a family package that includes access to hands-on art experiences at the Fox Studio Lot, from visual arts and music to interactive creative activities designed for all ages.
P.S. ARTS CEO John Lawler said, regarding the event: “Express Yourself brings to life the creativity, confidence, and sense of belonging that students build every day through P.S. ARTS. This event is a joyful reminder that when we invest in arts education, we empower young people and strengthen our schools and communities. We’re grateful to everyone whose participation helps ensure that creativity continues to thrive year-round.”
