Building Creative Futures, Together
The Paso Robles Youth Arts Center is growing — and the community is helping make it happen!
Phase one of the expansion is complete with the new JUSTIN Culinary Arts Teaching Kitchen, providing hands-on instruction for children ages 5-18 in cooking, nutrition, and food preparation.
And more growth is on the way! We plan to break ground on a new building in May 2026, adding over 4,000 square feet of classroom space for local youth.
A generous donor has contributed a $250,000 matching gift, meaning every dollar donated through April 30, 2026 will be matched dollar for dollar.
So far, $1.5 million has been raised by 144 donors, with $2 million left to complete the expansion
This is a community effort to support critical arts education. All donations are tax deductible.
