The Center for Arts Education is committed to stimulating and sustaining quality arts education as an essential part of every child’s K-12 education in the New York City public schools.
Through a combination of public engagement and model programs, CAE works to:
-Raise awareness of the value of arts learning for every child.
-Increase public consciousness about the need for dedicated arts curricula in the New York City public schools.
-Provide tools and support for educators, parents, elected officials, and others to advocate for equitable education that includes the arts.
-Influence educational and fiscal policies that will support arts education in all of the city's public schools.
Since its founding in 1996, CAE has implemented sustainable arts programs in hundreds of schools; provided high-quality professional development to teachers, artists, and administrators; created long-term partnerships between schools and cultural institutions; opened doors for high school students exploring careers in the creative industries; and published resources for educators and parents to replicate the success of their peers. Through all of these efforts, CAE has successfully ushered in a renaissance in arts education for the students in our city’s public schools.
