Artsed Washington Mission:
by collaborating with arts education leaders, and leading arts education advocacy efforts,
we are transforming educational and legislative systems,
to ensure every student
in Washington State experiences
an equitable arts education.

  • Advocate for Equity

    Leaders at ArtsEd Washington regularly speak with decision makers at all levels: schools, districts, and state! We also conduct advocacy trainings equipping participants to advocate with their local leaders and legislators. Additionally, we provide free and accessible advocacy tools on our website and social media pages.

  • Support our Schools

    Much of our work is done behind the scenes with educators and partner organizations to ensure maximum representation in our schools, communities, and art forms. We also offer arts-focused professional development and free arts resources to support equitable and ongoing arts programming in our schools.

  • Collaborate and Celebrate

    Collaboration and celebration of successes are important parts of our advocacy. You are invited to join us in one or more ways: Volunteer as a Board Member or Community Ambassador, contribute financially to our sustainability, interact with us on social media, and/or tell us about the successes happening in your local schools!

At ArtsEd Washington, we believe that diversity enriches our organization and makes us more effective in achieving our mission of providing equitable arts education to students throughout Washington State.

We are committed to equal opportunity inclusion regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, marital status, families with children (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sex, sexual orientation, gender identity diversity, age, status as a protected veteran, honorably discharged veteran or military status, status as an individual with the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with disabilities or other applicable legally protected characteristics. We encourage individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and locations throughout Washington State to join us in advocating for equitable arts education.
