2023-2024 Training Series:
Clarifying Equitable Arts Education Expectations After SB-5878


ArtsEd Washington collaborated with education leaders from throughout the state to develop a series of guides to support schools in navigating the implementation of SB-5878 (now legally part of RCW 28A.230.020). We also collected survey responses from 122 arts educators across the state, giving us an inside look at our schools’ successes and the gaps that need filling. In all of these presentations, we equipped participants with advocacy tools and resources that could guide their next steps. Several of those materials and recordings are now available as free downloads.

Our Introductory Webinar from February 27, 2024: Why does equity in arts education matter and what does the law say about it?

This webinar was designed with Arts Educators in mind, but it was open to all community members interested in arts education advocacy.

2022-2023 Training Series:
Arts Education and Data Literacy

It’s been nearly 15 years since Washington State collected data to represent arts education in our schools! Along with leaders in Arts 4 All, ArtsEd Washington has been working to ensure that new data is collected and made available for public consideration. To prepare for this upcoming release of data, in summer of 2023, ArtsEd Washington contracted with Quadrant Research to present 4 online Data Literacy Workshops. Hosted from our ArtsEd Washington office in Seattle and through our Zoom account, these informative and interactive workshops focused on developing data literacy to ensure that advocates of equitable arts education will know how to interpret this report accurately and equitably!
