Arts Corps Year 25 Annual Report: 25 Years of Arts Corps
As we reflect on the past 25 years of Arts Corps, we are reminded of the many beautiful students that have come through our programs from the moment we opened our doors to now. The students who have immersed themselves in the creation of the mural with their classmates; the students who pushed themselves through the dance movement even when they felt tired; the students who found that place of oneness in the music; and the students who placed themselves in the back at the beginning of the quarter and are now front and center in the class share.
Arts Corps Year 24 Annual Report: Growing Into
As we are moving through the season, we hope this message finds you well and surrounded by those you love. We’ve been focusing on growth and how it is entwined with nature this year. We are reminded of how trees illustrate many parallels to Arts Corps. Trees are often called the bones of the garden, providing structure, beauty, and grounding in the greater ecosystem.
Arts Corps Year 23 Annual Report: Mycelium
Much like mycelium, Arts Corps is a vast network that includes teaching artists, colleagues, friends, families, and supporters spanning across our region and beyond. This expansive network serves as our anchor, reinforcing our mission and vision of igniting the creative power of young people through culturally engaging learning experiences and striving for a world where barriers to arts education no longer exist.
Arts Corps Year 22 Annual Report: Touch the Sky
Young people touch the sky every day in Arts Corps classes. From school day arts integration, to after-school enrichment, to paid teen leadership internships, our programming empowers young people to courageously explore their own creative power, to reach new heights previously thought impossible.
Arts Corps Year 21 Annual Report: Becoming Together
Every day in Arts Corps classrooms, teaching artists encourage students to push their boundaries of creative self-expression. Students take risks by trying new things. Many times they shine, sometimes they fail gloriously. Either outcome is celebrated equally.

Arts Corps Year 19 Annual Report: (R)EVOLVE
Artists are the resistance and by making art anyway, we are combating oppression and creating a better world. By making art anyway, we are telling our education system that our voice matters.
Arts Corps Year 18 Annual Report: Breakthrough
This is what we do as artists; we break rules, we break down barriers, we break through. This is what we strive to achieve at Arts Corps.
Arts Corps Year 17 (Annual Report): RISE
Oftentimes, when looking at the impact of policies or frameworks on education, youth are left out of the conversation. Arts Corps seeks to remedy that by inviting youth to work on our board, co-present at conferences, and work with the staff and teaching artists. Through the youth, we will RISE.
Arts Corps Year 16 (Annual Report): NEXT
After over a decade of leadership at Arts Corps, I have never felt more proud of what we have achieved, nor more excited for what comes next.
