This conference and awards ceremony is part of The California Alliance for Arts Education ARTS NOW CA campaign where we work with local partners to shine a spotlight on school districts around California, where bold leadership and significant investments are paving the way to access to arts education for all students.
California Alliance for Arts Education and our partners in the ARTS NOW CALIFORNIA campaign, are working to establish the expectation that every California school district provide their students with a high quality, comprehensive education that includes a robust arts program, complete with instruction by credentialed arts teachers as well as arts integration strategies being implemented across the curriculum. Our campaign will celebrate districts taking a leadership role in prioritizing arts education and will encourage other districts to prioritize arts education.

This celebration is in conjunction with the Arts Now Napa Summit. This one-day, region-wide summit is designed for school board members and staff, district and county superintendents, principals, VAPA coordinators, arts leaders and community partners, teachers and parents. It will focus on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), Title I and Arts Plans, as well as other unique regional and statewide funding and educational opportunities. This dynamic event will enable participants to witness school site learning, hear from key leaders and stakeholders within the school districts and local arts organizations who are guiding these efforts, and learn strategies and resources districts can use to embed arts education strategies in student learning.
