With support from the California Arts Council, the California Alliance for Arts Education will merge with Create CA to amplify our collective impact in the field of arts education and build the public will and local advocacy infrastructure necessary to ensure all California students receive a culturally responsive 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.
