Our Mission

ETA’s mission is to increase equitable access to arts education in historically under-served schools. In partnership with public middle and high schools, we provide: school-based programs to help principals and teachers develop sustainable arts programs and better leverage the arts to strengthen student learning and engagement; and direct out-of-school student programs to nurture youth development through arts training, college and career preparedness, and social-emotional skill building.
