With support from the California Arts Council, the California Alliance for Arts Education will advocate for high quality arts education for all students by providing policy expertise and by mobilizing a statewide network of advocates and allied partners. A statewide leader and convener, the Alliance galvanizes California’s educators and other experts in arts and culture to increase access to arts education and improve the quality of arts education.
Our efforts focus on three key areas:
PUBLIC ADVOCACY: Through media coverage, public presentations and an array of online tools the Alliance engages the public in state and local arts education advocacy.
STATE POLICY: We champion essential funding and supportive policies to advance quality, accessible arts education. The Alliance authors briefing papers on critical topics, which advance sound policy development.
PARTNERSHIPS: Partnerships with leading state education, parent and arts organizations as well as business leaders and members of our Policy Council extend our reach to millions of California citizens. Our statewide local advocacy network, called Arts Now Communities, builds the capacity of advocates to communicate a unified message in their local communities by providing advocacy expertise, communications tools and leadership development.
