What is ArtsDay LA?

ArtsDay LA is a day-long educational experience offered by the UCLA Extension Department of the Arts. This free event offers aspiring designers, writers, filmmakers, and artists a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the subject matter, creative processes, current issues, and potential career paths of six major arts fields. All subject areas explored during ArtsDay LA are related to UCLA Extension course curricula, so the event also lets you  sample the level and diversity of professional training we offer. 

 

Do I need to register or RSVP to attend the event?

No. Just show up. We booked large rooms and expect to have enough space for all.
