Capital District Arts In Education Roundtable

FACILITATED BY THE NEW YORK STATE ALLIANCE FOR ARTS EDUCATION

The Arts in Education Roundtable is an organization of educators, teaching artists, administrators, arts organizations, cultural organizations and state organizations whose mission is to ensure the quality and broaden the scope of arts in education programs by providing a support network for the region’s providers so that every child in the Capital Region has the opportunity to learn in and through the arts.

The Roundtable’s meetings focus on networking, collaboration, and issue-oriented discussions with topics determined by the Roundtable members’ needs. The group also uses an active e-mail listserv for purposes of networking, information dissemination, and discussion of topics.

The New York State Alliance for Arts Education (NYSAAE) serves a broad constituency of arts advocates, including educators, artists, administrators of arts organizations, parents and interested citizens across the state. NYSAAE disseminates information about model programs, funding and standards of excellence, develops training models for constituent organizations, and advocates for arts education at the local, state and national levels.

NYSAAE is supported by The New York State Council on the Arts, The New York State Education Department, and its membership. It has received grants recently to initiate innovative professional development programs from The Dana Foundation, and the New York Times Company Foundation School Arts Rescue Initiative (SARI), and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. NYSAAE is part of a network of state alliances affiliated with the Kennedy Center.
