Yoli and John work together on a screen print drawing at Self Help Graphics."Art Happens Here With John Lithgow" premieres Friday, April 26, 2024. shares his passion for arts education by joining students and teachers at four Los Angeles organizations, diving into four arts disciplines: dance, ceramics, silk-screen printing and vocal jazz ensemble.

Growing up, Lithgow wanted to be an artist and was inspired and encouraged by his public school art teachers. As the years have passed, he’s come to see those teachers as his heroes, responsible for instilling him with confidence, curiosity and a sense of self.“Education involves much more than just the basic academic subjects and preparing kids for being tested and evaluated.

As he makes his first pot, collaborates with a young artist on a silk-screen print, learns new dance techniques and gamely joins a group of talented jazz vocal students for a concert, Lithgow revels in the sense of discovery, creativity, and camaraderie that the arts can offer.“The arts give young people tools to move through life. They teach them discipline and hard work, patience and civility. They give young people a sense of empathy. After all, art is about communicating with other people.

In the last three years, Lithgow has joined Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter and Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey as co-chairs of a Commission on the Arts for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Under their leadership, the Commission has produced authoritative reports on arts in education and America’s creative workforce. The original concept for"Art Happens Here" took shape during the Commission’s deliberations.
