The Arts
Welcome, please take a moment to review our new website




The DC Collaborative works with its members to provide equitable access to arts and humanities education for ALL DC public and chartered public schools for the growth of the WHOLE child.

The DC Collaborative believes that the arts—inclusive of music, visual arts, theater, dance, and literary arts—are central to the education of every student. A community-based partnership organization, now 80 members strong, the DC Collaborative works to promote quality arts and humanities education for all DC public and chartered public schools for the growth of the whole child. Working with our partners, the DC Collaborative produces such exemplary programs as Arts for Every Student, Professional Development, and the recently launched Arts Education Initiative.
