Project Title: Funding Central Oregon Programing
Project Description:

Arts for Learning Northwest (ALNW) is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of location, have access to high-quality arts education. In Central Oregon, many schools face financial barriers that limit their ability to bring arts programming into the classroom. While there is a strong need for arts integration in this region, limited local funding means that schools often struggle to afford these valuable experiences for their students. ALNW is seeking support to subsidize programming costs, making it possible for more schools in Central Oregon to benefit from our arts education initiatives.

By securing additional funding, ALNW can provide schools with free or low-cost artist residencies, workshops, and other creative learning opportunities. These programs not only enrich students’ educational experiences but also support social-emotional development, creative thinking, and engagement in learning. Many Central Oregon schools have expressed interest in working with ALNW, but without financial assistance, participation remains out of reach for many. With the right support, we can ensure that students in this region have equitable access to the arts, just like their peers in more well-funded districts.

Contributions will directly support artist stipends, materials, and program delivery, allowing ALNW to expand its impact in Central Oregon. By investing in arts education, we are investing in students’ creativity, confidence, and future success. Please join us in making the arts accessible to all students, regardless of financial barriers.
