With support from the California Arts Council, the Arts Education Alliance of the Bay Area (AEABA) will connect and catalyze arts education coalitions composed of Bay Area school districts, community-based organizations, teaching artists, students, families, and funders across all five regions of the Bay Area through local and regional arts advocacy, networking events, professional learning opportunities, and ongoing, up-to-date communications to ensure all young people throughout the Bay Area have equitable access to culturally responsive, creative practices and caring artistic mentors.
The Arts Education Alliance of the Bay Area CONNECTS and CATALYZES local arts education coalitions for a more just and creative San Francisco Bay Area.
We serve as a regional hub and unifying voice for local coalitions of teaching artists, school districts, student and their families, community arts organizations, cultural institutions, city and county agencies, funders, business leaders, and arts education advocates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our regional work aligns with Create CA’s state arts education efforts as well as the national efforts of the National Guild for Community Art Education and Arts Education Partnership. The Arts Education Alliance of the Bay Area supports our members to cultivate responsive leadership and advocate for arts education through ongoing convening events, professional learning workshops, monthly newsletters, and advocacy resources.
