The Ecosystem of Partners, Players, and Policymakers in the Field of Arts Education
It takes a village to provide a well-rounded education to every child. Use our new tool, The Arts Education Field Guide, to find the connections and partnerships that will strengthen arts education in your community.
The Arts Education Field Guide has two parts:
- The first is a summary brochure that will help you know who the key players and decision-makers are; find new allies; and understand your relationship with other stakeholders in arts education.
Download The Arts Education Field Guide summary [PDF, 382KB] - The second part is a 40+ page reference guide, where you will find detailed information about each stakeholder. The full-length Field Guide will help you understand each person’s motivations and connections in arts education, allowing you to build more effective relationships from the schoolhouse to the White House and from the living room to the boardroom.
The full-length Arts Education Field Guide is available to members of Americans for the Arts upon request. Please email artseducation@artsusa.org to request your copy today!
Want to better understand each player in the ecosystem? Check out our series of arts education webinars that takes a detailed look at the stakeholders identified in the Field Guide. As a bonus, webinar participants will receive the full-length publication via e-mail.
