National Guild for Community Arts Education
Founded in 1937, the National Guild for Community Arts Education is the sole national service organization for providers of community arts education. We believe in the power of the arts to transform lives. Our work helps realize that transformation every day. We serve our membership of over 400 organizations and individuals who span 46 states and a wide range of artistic disciplines, as well as the broader field. Many of our members partner with human services agencies, youth development organizations, public schools, senior centers and healthcare providers to increase equitable access to arts learning by, with, and for their communities. Guild membership is currently "pay what you can". In order to strengthen organizations and further advance community arts educators' practice, the Guild offers learning opportunities and resources, leadership development, and connection with fellow practitioners.
