Working Together

Young curly haired dipping her paint bush to get more red paint for her painting.

What the Kennedy Center Provides:

"I think the timing of this initiative is excellent. There is a broad base of support for the arts, but the various arms need to work together to be effective influences in arts education."

What the Community Provides:

A young boy painting a green circle.
  • Access to the Mayor, other government officials, Superintendent, arts organization and business leaders, in order to review the goals of the initiative and the findings from the Community Audit and other surveys
  • Establishment of a Community Team, including representatives from the Mayor's office/city council, the school system, local arts groups, the business community, and higher education, if applicable. (This Community Team typically meets once each month during the Community Audit process - usually for a period of six months - and continues to meet if the community decides to move forward with a comprehensive arts education plan.)
  • A designated Community Team Leader/Coordinator who serves as the primary contact to the Kennedy Center for the duration of the initiative
  • The time and personnel required to conduct the Community Audit for Arts Education in the community, as well as the Community Audit Resource Assessment, if appropriate
