Through a variety of FoCA events, members network with fellow patrons and meet the artists who have chartered CalArts' reputation as a powerful catalyst in shaping the cultural life of the nation and the world.

Founded in 1990, FoCA has raised more than $2.5 miilion for student scholarships to benefit the tremenously talented artists at CalArts.
