Thank you for your interest in the Arts and Cultural Programs at Rio Hondo College. We are a full service division, dedicated to the principle that the arts are an important contributor to the quality of life. Learning through the arts opens new avenues to experience our local community and gain a better understanding of our global diversity. Please take a moment to look at our many course offerings. We offer classes for those seeking a degree or transfer, preparation for the work world, or simply seeking to improve the quality of their life through the arts. We support a diverse and dynamic arts ‘scene’ in the community through the Cultural Arts Program, offering exhibitions, concerts and theatre, always free of charge.
Whatever your educational objective, we are here to help you reach it. Our goal is to help students develop the academic and professional skills to succeed in their chosen field. Additionally, we are dedicated to bringing the visual and performing arts to our community. Our faculty and staff are committed to educating the arts creator, consumer, historian, or theorist. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you wish more information or would like to schedule a visit.
