Today, it is more important than ever to protect and nurture the arts in our schools. We have launched Artspiration, an initiative that community stakeholders helped develop, to provide arts education to every Santa Clara County student. Maintaining thriving partnerships with arts advocates remains a crucial component of that endeavor, and we thank 1stACT Silicon Valley, the City of San Jose and Arts Council Silicon Valley for stepping up to help lead our mission. We extend special thanks to The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for financial support of our initiative and to County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Charles Weis and County Board of Education for their belief that all children should have access to high quality arts programs and instruction.

Artspiration strives to ensure every student has access to quality arts experiences, regardless of school district, ethnicity, academic performance level, or socioeconomic status. We invite you to join us in our vision of a world in which the arts are a part our children’s daily lives. Whether you are a parent, educator, school board member or business representative, a role is available in Artspiration as a supporter, partner or donor.
