With support from the California Arts Council, the Arts Education Alliance of the Bay Area (AEA) will connect and catalyze arts education communities of artists, community arts organizations, educators, young people, families, and advocates across all five regions of the San Francisco Bay Area. Through arts advocacy events and resources, networking events, professional learning opportunities, and ongoing communications our programs will provide practical services for each of our constituents.

Through these offerings, we serve as a regional hub and unifying voice for local coalitions of teaching artists, school districts, students and their families, throughout all nine counties of the Bay Area. We align our regional work with state and national efforts to ensure best policies and practices that are responsive to the culturally specific and geographic needs of our diverse communities.
