Ways to Partner
Explore partnership models aligned with your goals—from academic growth and student engagement to educator practice and community connection.
Community Schools
Our dedicated Community Schools Coordinators work alongside school leaders to support student learning, family engagement, and community connection through the arts.
With a focus on whole-child development, we implement arts programming that supports academic success, student well-being, and school culture.
Programs are tailored to each school community and may include artist residencies, family engagement, and enrichment opportunities.
Summer + After School Partnerships
Our evidence-based summer (SALA) and after school (ASALA) programs are nationally recognized models for arts-integrated academic learning beyond the school day. Independent evaluations show students making measurable gains in math, literacy, and attendance through engaging arts-integrated instruction.
These full-scale academies are implemented in partnership with schools and districts and designed to support student achievement, engagement, and creative growth.
Email partnerships@artsforlearningmd.org to explore implementation in your district.
Arts for Learning Days
This evidence-based, embedded professional learning model helps educators integrate the arts into daily instruction to support academic achievement and student engagement.
Teaching artists co-plan and co-teach alongside classroom teachers, modeling strategies that can be used immediately and sustained over time. Sessions are grounded in curriculum goals and designed to strengthen instructional practice, collaboration, and creative learning across the school community.
To bring Arts for Learning Days to your school or district, email partnerships@artsforlearningmd.org.
Principal Fellowship
This yearlong professional learning program supports principals in exploring the role of arts integration in school culture, teaching, and student success.
Through workshops, collaborative learning, and hands-on arts experiences, fellows gain practical strategies for supporting creativity and engagement across their schools.
Fellows join a growing network of school leaders committed to arts-rich learning environments.
Family Engagement Workshops
Bring families into the creative learning process through hands-on workshops led by professional teaching artists. Each event blends arts experiences with academic connections—from literacy and STEM to social emotional learning—so families can support student growth at home while building community at school.
Workshops are customized to your goals and designed to be welcoming, interactive, and joyful.
Email outreach@artsforlearningmd.org to plan a family engagement event.
Custom Programs + Events
Partner with us to design arts-integrated programs aligned with your school or district goals—from artist residencies and curriculum support to school-wide experiences like Arts Career Day and special initiatives.
We collaborate with school and district leaders to build responsive programs that support student learning, educator practice, and creative exploration across your community.
