On behalf of Heavenly Los Angeles, Org., we would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your support in this auction for the upcoming “Heavenly Los Angeles, Org-FREE Youth LA Hip Hop Workshop” event.

Heavenly Los Angeles, Org. serves foster youth, low-income youth, youth with disabilities, Indigenous youth, underserved minority youth, and justice-impacted youth across Los Angeles County. Through music, art, wellness, and life skills programming, we create safe and inspiring spaces where young people can express themselves, build confidence, and access meaningful resources. We are currently preparing for the next two “Heavenly Los Angeles, Org-FREE Youth LA Hip Hop Workshop” events:

May 31, 2026 | 1:00–3:00 PM  and. June 14, 2026 | 1:00–3:00 PM 

Venue: The Catalyst LA  3921 E. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90023

To ensure these events are impactful and accessible to all youth, we are auctioning off the artwork in this auction. All auction items sold will contribute to support:

-Food, snacks, and beverages for participating youth
-Clothing and essential items to distribute to youth in need
-Giveaway items (skateboards, toys, backpacks, art supplies, gift cards for transportation etc.)

Your support directly allows us to provide free programming, remove barriers to access, and ensure every young person who attends feels welcomed, cared for, and empowered. Participants of our free youth workshops learn essential recording and performance skills, including microphone control, stage presence, and rhythm. Youth will have the opportunity to record their own verses or hooks and gain experience performing live in a supportive setting. Custom-designed coloring sheets tailored to the event’s theme allow participants to explore creativity, color use, and emotional expression. The activity encourages focus and mindfulness through visual art engagement. This hands on free youth workshop is a creative lab that empowers youth to craft personalized merchandise and logos. Participants work with funder and organizational logos, then design their own unique brand identity to take home, promoting entrepreneurship and self-expression. Led by Wilpower, an Indigenous professional breakdancer and early LA Hip Hop pioneer, the dance session introduces foundational breaking moves and dance ethics while emphasizing the roots of Hip Hop movement culture and respect for its history. During our free workshops the youth experience an outdoor art class focused on safety, collaboration, and creative technique. With a large tarp setup for protection and ventilation, youth learn spray paint control, lettering, and teamwork while co-creating a community mural representing peace and unity. All youth participants engage in a reflective writing activity centered on self-expression and connection. Boys and girls form separate circles and receive hardcover black sketchbooks (“blackbooks”) to write poetry, journal entries, or rap lyrics inspired by the day’s theme and lessons learned. These workshops aim to bridge generations of Hip Hop culture and community care. Each participant leaves with tangible creations such as artwork, merch, or recorded music and intangible growth in self-worth, teamwork, and creative independence.
