In 2023, the Hollywood Arts Collective (HAC) opened its doors as an affordable housing development and community arts center  embodying the Entertainment Community Fund vision: a world in which individuals contributing to our cultural vibrancy are supported, valued, and economically secure.

Philip and I established and seeded the “HAC & ME” fund to establish free youth programming in HAC’s Glorya Kaufman Performing Arts Theater. Our focus is creating space where young people can learn new skills and be inspired to career opportunities. The fund offers the Glorya Kaufman Theater to nonprofit organizations on a free-of-charge basis two days a week in exchange for delivering fun, creative programs to underserved youth in film, dance, music, theater, and literary arts.

We hope you will consider supporting “HAC & ME” and be part of setting up many building blocks for young people.  Join us as we excite the next generation of creatives on-stage and behind the scenes in the arts, culture, and entertainment.

With much appreciation!

Bonnie Oda Homsey and Philip Homsey
