SECTION I: California State Summer School for the ArtsTHE CALIFORNIA STATE SUMMER SCHOOL FOR THE ARTSHISTORYIn the early 1980's California was facing increased competition from other states for its thirdlargest source of tax revenue, the arts and entertainment industries. Film, television andrecording studio complexes, which had been traditionally developed in California, were beingbuilt in Florida, Texas, and other locales. Motion picture industry executives and producerswere increasingly looking outside of the state for production opportunities. Many ofCalifornia's non-profit fine arts institutions, and the state's educational community, were feelingthe effects of a diminishing interest in California from the commercial arts sector.In 1982, a three-year effort to establish an educational environment for young California artistsbegan. Legislation sponsored by former State Senator Alan Sieroty launched a planningprocess. A twenty-four member Advisory Council of legislative, arts, and industry leaders wasappointed by the California Arts Council and the State Board of Education to explore the causeof the talent drain, and to recommend statewide educational opportunities. One of theproblems the Council discovered was that many of California's most talented young artists andentertainers were leaving the state to attend arts training programs in New York, NorthCarolina, Michigan, and other states -- and staying on to live and work where they went toschool.The work of the committee culminated on September 28, 1985, when Governor Deukmejiansigned the bill, authored by State Senator John Garamendi, which created the California StateSummer School for the Arts. The major objectives stated by the Legislature in establishingCSSSA: To enable artistically gifted and talented students, broadly representative of thesocioeconomic and ethnic diversity of the state, to receive intensive training in the artsthrough a multidisciplinary program; To provide a training ground for future artists who may wish to study and practice the artsor to pursue careers in the major performing arts companies and the commercial and finearts institutions in California; To establish a model for partnership between the public and private sectors.The program proved so popular and successful that Governor Deukmejian signed follow-uplegislation in September of 1990 making CSSSA a permanent program of the state. In 1992,Governor Pete Wilson signed legislation that enables CSSSA to accept a limited number ofstudents from outside of California, thereby making it a national program.CSSSA is the result of unique public and private sector planning and support. Now embarkingon its thirty-sixth summer of operation, CSSSA has trained more than fifteen thousand highlytalented alumni.1

SECTION I: California State Summer School for the Arts Contd.MISSIONThe mission of CSSSA is to annually provide a select number of California high school studentsof the visual, literary, performing and media arts with an intensive learning experienceconducted by distinguished arts professionals, designed to enhance the students' artistic skillsand to develop their understanding as individuals of their potential for growth as creativeartists.By fulfilling its mission CSSSA will: Provide recognition, distinction and professional training in the arts to a broadly recruitedstudent body of talented high school students in a scope and manner not availableanywhere else in California. Establish an educational community of professional artists and talented students that offersopportunities for creative risk taking, imaginative discipline, critical thinking, collaborativeproblem solving and leadership. Ensure that the school's student body, faculty and curriculum are reflective and sensitive toCalifornia's diverse cultural heritage. Support and encourage each student's singular capacity for creative accomplishment. Provide an educational link with institutions of higher learning, major performing artscompanies, commercial and fine arts institutions, and the film, television and recordingindustries in California for students wishing to pursue careers in the arts. Establish models for excellence in arts education and direct attention to the need for highquality arts programs in all California schools. Enhance the overall cultural climate of California by training future artists, who willcontribute to and become advocates for the arts. Help to ensure the long-term development of artists for the arts and entertainmentindustries, which currently comprise California’s second largest business sector. Position California, home to 20% of America's artists, as a leader in striving for excellence inthe arts.It is our expectation that some CSSSA graduates will become professional artists. Others will goon to apply their creative skills in other professions. The goal of CSSSA is to provide aneducational experience that goes beyond the practice and improvement of aesthetics andtechnique. We want to broaden our students' understanding of their creative potentials,regardless of their eventual life paths.STUDENTSThe school is open to students from all of the public and private secondary schools inCalifornia. In addition, CSSSA may accept up to twenty students per year from outside of2

The sole criteria for admission are an applicant's potential for professionaldevelopment as demonstrated through audition, portfolio review, screening and teacherrecommendations regarding their demonstrated motivation and discipline. The CSSSAadmission process is "needs blind", that is, no applicant is denied entrance solely on the basis ofinability to pay. The CSSSA student body is broadly representative of the wide economic,cultural and ethnic diversity of the state.The young artists who attend the CSSSA program are designated "California Arts Scholars,”which is the highest distinction in California for artistically talented students.SITEEach summer's four-week residential program takes place at a site chosen, through competition,by the school's Board of Trustees. The California Institute of the Arts will host the 2022 summersession.FACULTYThe CSSSA faculty is composed of professional artists and arts educators in the seven artisticdisciplines taught at the school: animation, dance, film, music, theater, visual arts, and writing.Faculty members are selected on the basis of artistic excellence in their art forms as well as theirteaching abilities.FUNDINGFunding for the California State Summer School for the Arts is provided through a uniquepublic/private partnership. By law the school must obtain a portion of its funding from nonstate sources. The California State Summer School Arts Foundation was founded in 1986 toseek gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals.Herb Alpert Scholarships for Emerging Young ArtistsCSSSA will be able to help some of its students with college aid through the distribution ofHerb Alpert Scholarships for Emerging Young Artists. By agreement between CSSSA and theHerb Alpert Foundation, twenty-one students each year will be designated Scholarshiprecipients. The Herb Alpert Scholarships for Emerging Young Artists include three awards ineach of seven categories: Animation, Film, Dance, Music, Theater, Visual Arts, and Writing. Ineach category, two students will receive single-year awards of 2,500, and one outstandingstudent will receive up to 40,000 to be awarded in equal installments of 10,000 over the courseof four years.During the fourth week of the 2022 session, CSSSA department faculties will choose awardrecipients from enrolled CSSSA students. The CSSSA application serves as the initialapplication for this CSSSA-exclusive college scholarship. The selection criteria used by thefaculty in each department will include a balanced assessment of artistic talent, character andmotivation, likeliness of success in a collegiate or professional training program, and financialneed.3

SECTION I: California State Summer School for the Arts Contd.CSSSA's supporting organization, the CSSSA Foundation, administers all scholarships. TheCSSSA Foundation provides the top seven scholarship recipients with professional financial aidconsulting and coordination to assure that the Herb Alpert Scholarship will be used to offset thework and loan burdens the student would otherwise be expected to carry, and will not supplantother resources that should be provided by the financial aid offices of the colleges they chooseto attend.The CSSSA Foundation may share aggregate information on grant recipients as part of its grantreporting. These grantor reports will not reveal information that can directly identify anindividual and the CSSSA Foundation will never sell or give information to an unrelated thirdparty.CSSSA and the CSSSA Foundation have a strong partnership with theHerb Alpert Foundation, which has provided CSSSA alums with more than 3 million dollarsin scholarships since 2008.SECTION II: California Institute of the ArtsCALARTSThe California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) was incorporated in 1961 as the first fullyaccredited, degree-granting institution of higher learning in the United States specifically forstudents of the Visual and Performing Arts.
