About Advocacy Teams
Goals of Municipal and Arts Ed Advocacy teams include:
- Developing teams of advocacy leaders with the skills to lead arts ed advocacy campaigns
- Increasing community awareness of and support for arts education
- Increasing the visibility of community support to district leadership
- Developing a sustainable model of organizing and advocating for the implementation of arts education plans in school districts
About Arts Ed Advocacy Teams
The Arts Education Advocacy Teams are part of a pilot program developed by Arts for LA and launched in partnership with Arts for All, a regional arts education initiative led by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
These Advocacy Teams are an effective way of engaging a broad group of arts stakeholders - parents, community members, educators, and artists to name a few - in developing meaningful arts education programs across the County. As part of an Advocacy Team, members help their local school district or municipality implement and strengthen its arts education programs.
We know that arts programs with robust support thrive. Advocacy Teams help make sure arts education reaches and serves all students, and that the arts are valued as an essential part of a complete education.
Five Advocacy Teams are hard at work in the Burbank, Culver City, Santa Monica-Malibu, Montebello, and Paramount school districts - with plans to add Advocacy Teams in as many as ten more districts and cities in the coming year.
