White Hall Arts Academy Receives 2026 AEG Community Foundation Grant

WHAA continues expanding opportunities for young creatives through arts education, mentorship and entertainment industry partnerships.

We have some exciting news to share! White Hall Arts Academy Foundation has been named a 2026 AEG Community Foundation grant recipient, recognizing our continued commitment to making arts education and creative career opportunities more accessible to young people across Los Angeles.

Announced on October 8, the AEG Community Foundation awarded a total of $400,000 to 22 nonprofit organizations nationwide, supporting programs focused on education, the arts, youth development and community wellness.

We're honored to be among this year's recipients and grateful for the continued support of our mission.

Creating More Opportunities for the Next Generation

At White Hall Arts Academy, we believe creativity can open doors to incredible opportunities. Our mission goes beyond teaching music, dance and performance. We're helping young people discover the many possibilities available to them throughout the entertainment industry.

Earlier this year, our Music Creators Camp students had the opportunity to visit The Novo at L.A. LIVE, where professionals from AEG and Goldenvoice introduced them to the business behind live entertainment.

From concert promotion and merchandising to production and event operations, students got a firsthand look at the people and careers that make major live events possible. They also participated in mentoring sessions with industry professionals who shared their experiences and insights.

For many students, experiences like these offer a new perspective on what's possible for their futures.

"This is bigger than a camp or a training program," said Tanisha Hall, founder of White Hall Arts Academy. "We are creating meaningful pathways for young people who have the talent, discipline and creativity to contribute to this industry."

Building on Our Partnership With AEG and Goldenvoice

Receiving the 2026 AEG Community Foundation grant is especially meaningful as we continue building on our relationship with AEG and Goldenvoice.

Their support reinforces something we've always believed: When arts education meets real-world industry access, young people gain more than creative skills. They gain confidence, connections and a clearer understanding of how to turn their interests into meaningful career opportunities.

Through our educational programs, creative workshops and industry partnerships, we're committed to helping students explore their talents while introducing them to opportunities both onstage and behind the scenes.

Thank You for Supporting Our Mission

We're incredibly grateful to the AEG Community Foundation for recognizing our work and investing in the next generation of creative talent.

This recognition is another exciting step forward as we continue expanding access to arts education and entertainment career pathways for youth and young adults in Los Angeles.

To our students, families, instructors, partners and supporters, thank you for being part of the White Hall community. We're excited about what's ahead!
