With support from the California
Arts Council and the Los Angeles County Productivity Fund, the
Los Angeles County Arts Commission, in partnership with the Los
Angeles County Office of Education, spearheaded a year long community-based
strategic planning process to address the findings of Arts in Focus,
resulting in Arts
for All: Los Angeles County Regional Blueprint for Arts Education.
The Blueprint was unanimously adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and officially launched in September 2002 (please see press and publications for more information). |
| Arts for All provides a series of policy changes and educational
initiatives to create systemic change and institutionalize sequential,
K-12 arts education, in Los Angeles County school districts, based
on the Visual
and Performing Arts Standards for California Public Schools. The
Blueprint proposes that systemic change can only occur through the
commitment and involvement of every stakeholder group and identifies
the steps that each stakeholder can take to create systemic change
through A
Call to Action Chart, pages 8-10 in the Blueprint. Fifty diverse organizations, including the Los Angeles County Arts Commission and the Los Angeles County Office of Education, have committed to provide leadership for the goals and strategies contained in the Blueprint. These organizations are working together under the umbrella of a County Task Force for Arts Education, formed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors upon their adoption. |
