About the <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Partnership</strong><br />
The <strong>Arts</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Partnership</strong> is dedicated to securing<br />
a high-quality arts education for every young person in America.<br />
A<br />
national coalition of more than 100 education, arts, cultural, business, government, and philanthropic organizations,<br />
AEP gathers and analyzes research and policy information, fosters dialogue about what works in arts education, and<br />
supports advocacy for improved education policy and practice. AEP was established in 1995 and is supported by the<br />
National Endowment for the <strong>Arts</strong> and the U.S. Department of <strong>Education</strong>, in cooperation with the Council of Chief State School<br />
Officers and the National Assembly of State <strong>Arts</strong> Agencies.<br />

The arts are not somehow apart<br />
from our national life, the arts<br />
are at the heart of our national<br />
life…So let’s never forget that<br />
art strengthens America.<br />
