Art in the Village

In an effort to expand our art outreach to local elementary schools, USC Fisher Museum of Art's education department created the Art in the Village program. Funded for seven consecutive years by a generous grant from USC Neighborhood Outreach, Art in the Village represents a partnership between USC Fisher Museum of Art, the University Village Shopping Center, and the USC Family of Schools.
