New update
Thank you to the donors who have already given so generously—both here and on our organization's webpage!
Your donations are allowing us to invest more time in the urgent conversation on preventing the removal of the arts requirement from high school graduation, and enabling us to plan our future coordination efforts. We truly couldn't do this work without you.
And we have some more good news: An anonymous donor has pledged to match every donation made by May 25th, up to $6,000. So your gift is going twice as far to help us provide support for students and staff in the months ahead.
For added insight, our most recent annual report shows why your ongoing support matters. We appreciate your support of students' arts access, and we look forward to making an even greater impact with you this year!
ArtsEd Washington is the only organization in our state dedicated to connecting educators, school districts, cultural organizations, and policymakers in shared action to advance arts education. Our collaborative infrastructure—often unfunded by traditional program grants—is what quietly powers equitable access to arts education statewide.
Each year, we serve more than 1,000 educators and students across nearly half of Washington’s 39 counties through professional development, advocacy trainings, arts workshops, and free classroom resources.
Through sustained advocacy and collaboration, we coordinate initiatives with leading organizations including:
Arts for All Coalition
Association of Washington Student Leaders
Inspire Washington
League of Education Voters
Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
Washington Art Education Association
Washington Music Educators Association
Washington State Thespians
Washington State School Directors’ Association
And arts administrators from over a dozen school districts
This year, we are asking our supporters to help us fund our Statewide Coordination & Network Infrastructure in addition to our public-facing programs. Every training, resource, and workshop we deliver depends on the coordination, research, and relationship-building that happen quietly behind the scenes.
Help power the behind-the-scenes work that drives Washington’s arts education movement. Your contribution ensures lasting access and collaboration statewide.
