TUSD & TACFA

Your Support. Their Stage.

Building Confidence and Community through Creativity

You Can Help Keep Arts Education Accessible, Vibrant, And Thriving.

Parents, families, and community members play a vital role in sustaining arts education across the Tustin Unified School District (TUSD). Through your generosity, the Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA) provides essential funding, programs, and opportunities that enrich the lives of thousands of students each year.

Elementary Art Education

We provide funding to nine Title 1 elementary schools to enable them to have art education for their students with lessons that highlight three famed artists through either FIBO or Meet the Masters. 

Kids Koncerts

TACFA provides the funding to send over 1,000 Tustin 4th graders to a symphony created just for children by the Beckman High School Orchestra. An incredible experience which has inspired many students to pursue a deeper connection to music, learning, and their own creative potential.

Kid's Theater Camp

Kids learn stage direction, acting techniques, vocal performance, and choreography, culminating in a charming performance for family and friends.

Student Art Invitational

We organize a student art competition and exhibit that draws over 200 entries and offers prize money to the students, and stipends to their teachers.

Student Art Scholarships

The Barbara Benson Memorial Art Scholarships support graduating TUSD students who demonstrate artistic talent, dedication, and promise.
