ALICE: Arts and Literacy in Children's Education was founded in 2004 as a grassroots organization, seeking to narrow the disparity in arts education between children in well-endowed schools and those in lower socio-economic communities.

Today, ALICE has over two dozen professional musicians, dancers, choreographers, theatre directors, actors, spoken word poets, writers, storytellers, painters, print makers, photographers and designers serving over 3,000 children and their families.

ALICE's is constantly seeking new ways to bring the arts into the lives of our communities. We would especially like to tell you about two new initiatives that we are very proud of. One is an innovative arts, gardening and science project called, In Praise of Soil that partners schoolchildren with grandparents in the growing and harvesting of traditional foods.

The other is a newly-created professional producing arm, ALICE Presents, celebrating the cultural diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area by presenting a broad range of public performances, gallery exhibitions and events..
