Arts Now

The Arts Now program is a statewide network of arts education advocates who participate in professional development and local arts education coalition building. Our goal is to increase public funding for, access to, and participation in arts education, regardless of zip code, race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.

Applications are currently closed. They will open in May 2026.

Why you should get involved!

The Arts Now program provides technical assistance, leadership training, professional development, communications support, a statewide network, and stipends to help pursue advocacy objectives.
