What begins in an art class can travel far beyond it.
A new skill can become confidence in an idea. Creative expression can give form to something difficult to say. A classroom or community space can become a place where a young person feels recognized, supported and free to imagine what comes next.
Our 2025–26 annual report, Where Art Leads, explores the pathways arts education can open toward belonging, expression and opportunity. Through stories from youth, teaching artists and community partners, the report reflects on a year of creative discovery and continued work to make arts education accessible to more young people across our region.
Inside, you’ll meet young people finding strength in their own voices, see how individual creativity became shared creation and learn how partnerships expanded what Arts Corps programs could make possible. You’ll also find a snapshot of the classes, program hours and student enrollments that shaped our year.
We’re deeply grateful to the teaching artists, families, partners, donors and supporters who make this work possible. Your time, resources and care help keep these pathways open.
