The solidarity among Washington students gives us hope. What do you wish more people understood about rural schools?

💡This month, ArtsEd Washington is diving deep into brand-new data on the state of arts education in Washington and what it means for our students, schools, and our creative future.

For the first time since 2009, Washington has comprehensive statewide insights bringing together both school leadership and student voices:

Artists, students, parents, school staff, and community leaders, this event is for you. ALL of you!

Strong arts scenes start with students who learn to love art and envision themselves engaging in local arts as an adult. So we're strengthening the connections between arts in our schools and arts in our communities!

Come together on October 9th for great conversations, fresh inspiration, new resources, and light refreshments in a relaxed, creative atmosphere!

RSVP here for the local address or video link! https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/IzvmZodKSEKPwBjo6OZYBA?t=1790285974

Thank you to Art Salvage for so thoughtfully supporting eastside artists who lost their creative outlets in recent fires.

ArtsEd Washington is matching donated used items with folks who lost similar items, and purchasing replacements for items without a match.

If you know students or teachers in need, please encourage them to request their replacement on our website.

And if you’re looking for a new way to help, check out this project at Art Salvage!

Art Salvage is supporting the Eastern Washington Recovery Project by offering specific materials on a “Give What You Can” basis.

How does it work?

Make a monetary donation of your choice using the tab on our website listed under Resources and named 2026 Wildfire Relief.

🎨 ArtsEd Washington is collecting material and monetary donations to help students and teachers who lost their visual and performing arts equipment in the Eastern Washington fires. These items are more than just objects for entertainment. They enable expression, healing, the joy of being creative, and they are important components of a meaningful school day.

100% of proceeds donated will directly go to this project.

Hope you swing by soon!
