Their “full-circle” mission provides career support services for emerging fine and performing artists, and in turn, engages those artists in volunteering their talents with our free arts outreach programs in pediatric hospitals and medical facilities. The Elysium Full Circle encompasses four arts platforms including Elysium Collections (Fashion Design), Elysium Project (Fine Arts), Elysium Sessions (Music), and Elysium Industry (Theatre/Media Arts).
Proceeds generated from Opening Night Premiere Party ticket sales will also support visits for students from Los Angeles area schools to the J.Paul Getty Museum, through the Museum’s fully subsidized Title One bus transportation program. This program ensures that as many students as possible from throughout Los Angeles can visit the Getty and experience its collection and the site through guided visits and architecture and garden tours. Each year, more than 100,000 students and their teachers visit the J. Paul Getty Museum at its two locations, giving young people the opportunity to enjoy direct experiences with original works of art.
