The pARTners Project will use the Arts Endowment award to develop a plan to increase access to arts education.
In its name and its mission, the pARTners Project emphasizes collaboration.
The project, a partnership between the West Alabama and Greater Birmingham Arts Education Collaboratives, aims to address inequalities in arts access in West-Central Alabama, with a special focus on pre-K through 12th grade students in rural areas still feeling the effects of segregation and white flight. It is a recent recipient of an Arts Education Collective Impact grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
