Our Mission
Empower students through arts education.
Our Vision
Every child has equal access to a quality and meaningful arts education that helps prepare them for future success students through arts education.
Why We Do It
Leadership
“Arts education fosters bright, creative, and socially engaged students who will grow up to be our next leaders, parents, teachers, artists, and engineers. Their innovative ideas will shape industries; their creative thinking will find out-of-the-box solutions for a global society, and will provide students with a way to understand themselves, and have a sense of belonging.”
— Jane Chu, National Endowment for the Arts
Creative Confidence
“Art in Action not only provides exposure to the arts, it helps students develop self-esteem, is an outlet for creative expression, and it increases parent participation within the school. Our students are very fortunate to have this program.”
— Art in Action Parent Docent
Knowledge
“My class has studied Van Gogh, Ghirlandaio, Miró, and African textiles to name a few… I see my students lose any hesitation with regard to self-expression and make meaningful connections across the curriculum. They are as intrigued by the lives and techniques of the artists as they are with the projects.”
— Elementary School Teacher
