Arts Education Data Project
Using Data as a Catalyst to Increase Arts Education across the Nation.
Using Data to Increase Participation in Arts Education Since 2004
The Arts Education Data Project is rooted in data reporting efforts dating back to the 1990’s. The year 2004 saw the first release of a statewide report using state department of education data. Today the Arts Education Data Project is currently working in 21 states to increase arts participation with the goal of providing arts education data to empower citizens in all 50 states.
Creating Knowledge
Data is transformed to create knowledge about the status of arts education.
Empowering Citizens
Policymakers and citizens use data to craft strategies to address gaps.
Increasing Participation
Focused attention leads to improved access and participation in arts education.
Sparking a National Movement
What started out as a single state project has now morphed into a national movement to document access and participation in every state.
Pioneering Leader for Arts Education Data for more than a Decade
The Arts Education Data Project has been working for more than a decade to create the proper conditions for arts education data reporting and presentation. Now the project is national.

What State Partners Are Saying
“The California Arts Education Data Project has done more to change the substance of arts education advocacy in California than anything else I have witnessed. It has established the shared recognition that the evidence of the current system is accessible and that becomes the basis of the conversation around equity, quality, and access.”
“In North Carolina, the arts education data project has increased funding for programming state-wide. Conversations of change in arts education have started across NC.”
