As a national nonprofit leader in visual arts curriculum, Art in Action has proudly served over a half million kindergarten through 8th grade students since 1982. We provide classroom lessons to develop the skills of what the World Economic Forum is referring to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, chief of these skills are creativity, critical thinking, and complex problem solving, through hands-on learning with art. Today we reach 80,000 students and train nearly 2,000 teachers and parent volunteers in more than 300 schools and after-school programs nationwide. 50% of those we serve are Title I schools in underserved communities.
Art in Action strives to be relevant to today's students and schools. In addition to our original Legacy curriculum line, developed by founder Judy Sleeth, we developed art forward STEAM lessons and lessons that teach students cultural understanding, social justice, healing through art, art appreciation and technique. Our lessons are aligned with Next Generation Science, Common Core, and National Core Art Standards.
Art in Action has 9 full- and part-time employees and a 12-member Board of Trustees made up of current and former business leaders, community volunteers, and professionals in the tech industry. The organization seeks earned and raised revenue with nearly half of its budget funded through individuals, corporations and foundations.
