Every young person in Washington deserves access to arts education
Arts for All is a coalition for change: people, organizations, and communities working to ensure access to arts education and resources for PreK-12th grade students.
1.1 million students spread across 295 school districts and 6 state-tribal education-compact schools in urban, suburban, and rural Washington state – especially students facing barriers to arts learning access.
Who we support
Arts for All is using research to address gaps in access, involving students and educators in decision-making processes, and empowering both local and statewide arts education initiatives.
What we do
