Arts Education Network
The Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region strives to connect educators of all levels and disciplines to the arts!
The cultural plan found that the main barrier to accessing high quality arts education in our region is the fragmentation of having 22 school districts across the two counties.
Inspired by ArtsVision2030, the Cultural Office launched a community-wide arts education program. Since 2023, we have formed the Arts Education Network with a total database of 1200+ regional arts educators and 300+ active members. Its objective is to increase student access to high quality arts education by empowering teachers in schools and community settings with resources, trainings, and a new community of practice. Please join the arts education network below and receive up-to-date information about workshops, trainings, and resources!
