About

Join arts education leaders from across Los Angeles County for the School District Arts Coordinator Network Spring Gathering —a morning designed to spark connection, illuminate promising practices, and strengthen our shared commitment to equitable arts education for all students.

This in-person event includes district case studies, reflective guided activities, facilitated table discussions, and a shared “harvest” of insights—your take-away “bolts of wisdom” and ideas to inform ongoing efforts. You’ll leave with strengthened connections, practical strategies, and renewed clarity about the work ahead.

About

Join us for this community lunch and learn session where participants will be guided on a journey to explain and affirm why art and healing is needed in LA County, now and for years to come. This 2-hour session will include a discussion that unpacks individual, subjective definitions of Arts-Based HCE and sets a foundation for establishing a collective vision for art and healing in the next 5, 15, and 30 years. All are invited to accept the invitation to challenge, create, and crystalize the relationship between art and healing in LA County!

Participants who register on Eventbrite, submit a W9 and ACH form (optional for direct deposit) to Diana—through email or in-person—by Wednesday, May 22, and attend the full session will receive a stipend of $100 for participation.

About

Utilizing tools and resources developed by the I.D.E.A. Wave CoLab, the I.D.E.A Wave workshop series provides a guided journey towards equity, diversity, inclusion, healing, and anti-racism by offering an entry point to develop sustainable processes, conversations, and shared values in organizations, coalitions, schools, and communities. The workshops will introduce participants to I.D.E.A. Wave Colab tools that will support teams' journeys towards inclusive, equitable, accessible, and anti-racist ways of collaborating.

Through workshopping and open dialogue, the tools facilitate an operational checkpoint to help map where an organization is in its I.D.E.A. journey and help identify strengths and areas of possibility. As a result of intentional and engaged interaction with the I.D.E.A. tools between workshop sessions and beyond, attendees will be able to identify areas of growth, advance I.D.E.A. in their internal practices, and demand sustainable and systemic change toward equitable and accessible TK-12 arts education. These sessions are not training on I.D.E.A. They are an introduction to open-source I.D.E.A. tools and an opportunity to network with changemakers and leaders across the arts field.

Teams from TK-12 schools, nonprofits, and philanthropic organizations in the arts education field are invited to apply. As this work requires deep commitment across all aspects of an organization, we recommend that teams include 2-3 people, with at least one senior staff member. If possible, the organization's board chair would be a great addition, as well as any more recent staff members. We encourage all organizations joining to honor this working time and incorporate the sessions into the paid workday.
