ArtsEd West

ArtsEd West is a regional hub that connects educators, artists, and communities across the western United States through innovative programming, professional learning, and advocacy. By building networks of collaboration and advancing equitable and community-centered practices, ArtsEd West strengthens the systems that ensure every student has access to the transformative power of the arts—in school, in career, and in life.

Envisioning a collaborative community where youth, educators, and artists are empowered to shape the future.

Our mission is to secure a well-rounded and artful education for all students, and we do this through community capacity and training. Our goals are to:

1) Expand access to arts education

2) Strengthen the arts education workforce

3) Drive regional systems change

There are over 2 million students across the United States who lack access to any arts education classes. Of those, over 142,000, or 7% come from Arizona alone. ArtsEd West is dedicated to providing tools, strategy, and resources to shape local, state, and national policies to close this access gap.
