Programs Overview
International Eye Los Angeles has been conducting cultural arts and design workshops in schools and communities throughout Los Angeles since 1998. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Marie Kellier, a multidisciplinary team of artist educators have been using Caribbean carnival and festival arts to deliver academic content, creative activities, arts education, and street masquerade participation.
