Collective Action
By developing, growing, and sustaining a statewide coalition of arts education advocates, we can drive systems change and help build communities that value arts.
Data and Research
Collecting and reporting robust, transparent data that identifies areas of success and gaps in arts education is essential to reach our goals – this includes measuring engagement in arts learning (including community-based cultural practices).
Educator Support
Supporting educators with enhanced professional learning opportunities – including culturally responsive teaching methods, reclaiming indigenous knowledge, and arts education policy and implementation strategies – can help us close opportunity gaps for students and improve teacher retention.

Student Empowerment
We can support culturally responsive, continuous arts education for all students that enhances students’ academic achievement, social-emotional well-being, civic engagement, and creates pathways to creative careers and leadership opportunities for students and communities.
