Who we are: As the sole national service organization for providers of community arts education, the National Guild for Community Arts Education provides learning opportunities for community arts education leaders including workshops, peer groups, and leadership retreats.
How we define Community Arts Education:
Community Arts Education is a dynamic and inclusive approach to learning and engagement in the arts, fostering creativity, cultural expression, and social transformation within communities. It encompasses a broad range of artistic disciplines and practices that empower individuals to develop their artistic skills, deepen their cultural understanding, and cultivate a sense of belonging and agency within themselves and their communities.
Community arts education is a participatory and transformative practice that engages individuals in the creation, exploration, and critical dialogue of the arts within a community context. Community arts education goes beyond individual skill-building or personal expression; it connects through a larger social context.
Mission:
We champion the transformative power of community arts education to build an equitable and just world through advocacy, leadership development, and peer learning. We co-create a future where learning and creativity are at the center of our collective liberation.
Vision
We envision a world where all individuals have access to community arts education that enriches their lives and contributes to the well-being of their communities. We are committed to achieving our vision through our core values of liberatory leadership, equity, creativity, and community.
Values
We are guided by our core values of leadership, equity, community, and creativity:
LIBERATORY LEADERSHIP
We are dedicated to developing and supporting effective leaders who can empower people and organizations to advance community arts education through a set of practices that aim to foster inclusivity and create space for individual and collective agency.
EQUITY
We are committed to the ongoing effort to dismantle oppressive structures including racism, gender-based oppression, ageism, ableism, and more, because our mission cannot be achieved until all people can live freely and in their full dignity.
CREATIVITY
We value the pursuit of creative processes that change lives, neighborhoods, communities, and inspire innovation for the public good.
COMMUNITY
We believe that co-creating programming by, with, and for our communities promotes resilience, strong relationships, and transformation.
