WAEA is currently collaborating with the Arts for ALL coalition with the other major Arts assocations in the state. 

Becky, our WAEA coPresident, is attending a meeting in Seattle as the WAEA liaison and will report back how we can activate our network to help in this advocacy effort!

James Andrews, our WAEA Advocacy rep., has already been woking with Miranda from ArtsEd Washington to create the survey we are asking you to fill out at the top of this newsletter. 

 

Arts for All (A4A) is a statewide coalition working to ensure a high-quality arts education for all PreK-12 students.
