2025-2026: Stronger Together
2025-2026: Stronger Together
ArtsEd Washington has diligently rebuilt our list of Ongoing Offerings since the 2020 shutdown. We look forward to continued growth and supporting more schools across the state every year. Email office@artsedwashington.org to schedule a service in your district!
From our inception, collaboration has been one of ArtsEd Washington’s core values. As a grassroots organization, being in community with people who value arts education is key to how we gain understanding of regional needs. Rather than pursuing separate arts-related causes, we maximize our collaborative impact through ongoing working relationships with other leading organizations throughout Washington.
As a result of this work, ArtsEd Washington began to remedy several widespread needs in 2025:
1) Exploring the intersection of Career-Technical Education and the Arts
2) Clarifying the roles of leaders that influence arts education in Washington State
In partnership with leaders from Washington's creative economy and educators from Olympia, Seattle, and Spokane Public Schools, AEW created a collaborative panel to discuss economic insights, school-based scenarios, and ways to think more…creatively...about career possibilities related to the arts. As of December, this panel has been adapted and shared with over 200 educators and administrators across the state.
AEW also produced a one-page Arts Education Ecosystem Infographic to help students, staff, and community members navigate conversations in the arts education ecosystem.
Stay tuned for updates about how AEW’s collaborations are helping Washington achieve more equitable arts education as we are “Stronger Together”!
On December 6, 2025, artists and arts educators from around the state connected to expand their local arts community.
