March is Arts Education Month
Arts unify communities. 72% of Americans believe “the arts unify our communities regardless of age, race, and ethnicity” and 73% agree that the arts “helps me understand other cultures better”—a perspective observed across all demographic and economic categories (Americans for the Arts).
Join Arts for Learning NW in celebrating Arts Education Month this March. Together, we deliver the benefit of the arts to students in Oregon and SW Washington.

Register your school for Fun for the Arts!
Register your school by March 15 for our fundraising dance-a-thon! There is no cost to participate, and funds are held in an account that cannot be clawed back or reallocated. Register your school for Fun for the Arts, our In-School Fundraiser for Arts Access.
An Arts for Learning NW’s tradition since 1977, Run for the Arts, is now Fun for the Arts! This refreshed version of our school-based fundraiser brings the philanthropic power of our community together in a more accessible run-a-thon or dance-a-thon with a theme of “move however feels best.” Join with other regional schools to bring arts equity and accessibility to schools in Oregon and SW Washington!

Support Arts Education for students in Oregon and SW Washington
DID YOU KNOW arts funding in Oregon is at an all-time low? Districts across the state are slashing school budgets that support arts education.
YOU CAN DECIDE. Make sure that Oregon students have access to arts education. Invest Oregon tax dollars into accessible arts education.
Make a one-time donation or become a monthly donor to support Arts for Learning Northwest’s programs serving over 50,000 students per year.
