Making arts education accessible for all K-12 students in Washington!
A well-rounded education including dance, music, media art, theatre, and visual art increases academic success and overall wellbeing, and all students deserve to experience that regardless of their location or background. ArtsEd Washington delivers virtual and in-person programming throughout the state by teaching student workshops, collaborating with arts educators, and advocating with decision makers for more equitable arts access in the education system.
Washington State has 1.1 million students in 295 school districts, 16 public charter schools, and 8 State-Tribal Compact Schools. All with their own unique needs and opportunities--across 70,303 square miles of land! And although the arts have tremendous benefits for students and are a required core academic subject under state and federal statute, chronic under resourcing has caused inconsistent and sparse arts access for many students.
Since needs and opportunities vary by community, ArtsEd Washington staff lead alongside their Washington-wide Board of Directors and Community Ambassador cohort to offer programming throughout the state. Through our core values of Equity, Advocacy, and Collaboration, we work with leaders across the state to shape state arts standards, gather essential data, and provide professional development to educators and administrators, and deliver supplemental arts education to students.
ArtsEd Washington's programming balances long term systems-change and short term supplemental strategies for student access, so your financial support can create impact in several ways!
