Ryman Arts was co-founded in 1990 as the Ryman-Carroll Foundation by Leah and Martin Sklar, Ann and Buzz Price, Walt Disney's daughter Sharon Disney Lund, and Lucille Ryman Carroll,[1] to honor Herbert Ryman.
The organization provides free art classes in drawing and painting with master teachers to Los Angeles area high school students.
Classes are held on Sundays at the Otis College of Art and Design and on Saturdays at Cal-State Fullerton.
There are classes in the mornings and afternoons, each lasting 3.5 hours.
The organization is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
