Shared Leadership
Arts for All has been a collaborative effort from its beginnings. Making all the arts – dance, music, theatre and visual arts – part of the core curriculum in the County's school systems can occur only through the aligned participation of a wide array of stakeholders.
Arts for All's goals represent the collective vision of the arts education community – including arts education organizations, teachers, parents, policymakers and students – in Los Angeles County. The implementation of those goals is guided by the Arts for All Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is responsible for establishing community partnerships, setting priorities for the collaboration and creating funding recommendations for the Arts for All Pooled Fund.
