Youth Branch
The Ojai Art Center Youth Branch is a creative resource for young artists of all mediums.
The Youth Branch hopes to provide space and time for youth workshops and classes at the Art Center and to create a website which would include a directory of youth classes and instructors in the valley.

OACT Youth Branch presents
“Frozen, Kids”
Over the summer, 12 young actors joined Director Gai Jones, Kayleigh Turner, Vocal Director, and Sophie Massey, Choreographer who coached the kids in song and dance virtually.
The kids and crew worked really hard with everyone learning many new skills. We can not sell tickets for the final performance but we can accept donations to our program.
Please consider donating, even a small gift is helpful in covering production costs, such as costumes, props, royalties, staffing, etc.
