Professional Membership

We need you in our connected, collaborative community.

All of us play a role in helping children develop creative capacities to succeed in school and in life. Arts organizations are natural partners to schools in increasing the amount and quality of arts education available to our children. Local arts agencies play an integral role in the health and vitality of community-based arts scenes. Businesses support valued programs designed to strengthen teacher skills and help schools implement arts instruction as a regular part of their curricula.
