The city of Washington is rich in arts and culture, but budget constraints often
prevent the city’s schools from taking advantage of its resources. The DC Arts
and Humanities Education Collaborative works to help DC public and chartered
public schools gain access to our vibrant arts world by removing the barriers to
it. Offering workshops for teachers, teaching artists, principals, and others, the
Collaborative also makes registration, tickets, and transportation easy. Last year, 139 schools registered for the
Collaborative’s Arts for Every Student program, which reached 40,000 students and their chaperones through free
performances. Since 2003, when the Collaborative was first featured in the Catalogue, its annual budget has more
than doubled, and it continues to receive vital support from Catalogue donors. But the demand is growing. After
all, visiting the Kennedy Center for the first time, making a trip to the Washington Ballet or Shakespeare Theatre,
having a professional artist come right to your classroom – for many children these are unforgettable experiences.
You can help keep the arts alive – for every student.
