Networking and Advocacy Group

Arts|Learning engages in statewide arts education advocacy in Massachusetts and new England through its Networking and Advocacy Group.  These efforts strive to ensure that the arts are a core component of a well-rounded education for all K-12 students throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

In 2007, the National Arts and Learning Collaborative merged with the Massachusetts Alliance for Arts Education, leading to the creation of Arts|Leearning and its three divisions.  A leadership team of A|L affiliates and members of the Massachusetts arts teaching workforce lead Arts|Learning's advocacy activities.

Arts|Learning is the Massachusetts affiliate of the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network, a coalition of statewide Alliances working in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to support policies, practices, programs, and partnerships that ensure the arts are an essential part of American K-12 education.
