The Burbank community is so rich with artistic talent and it all starts with our children. Visiting Burbank’s past, present and future is a wonderful way to showcase our student and community talent, while celebrating Burbank’s wonderful heritage,” said Jessica Good, Executive Director of the Burbank Arts Education Foundation.

“This is a great opportunity for both children and adults alike to be a part of Burbank’s historic journey, by exploring through art what is special about this city.
