Organizations Filed Purposes: AiA is a nonprofit 501(c) (3) org that provides diverse visual arts curr, matls, & traning for KDG-8th grade students. AiAs mission is to empower students through arts education.

FOUNDED 38 YEARS AGO, AIA IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES DIVERSE VISUAL ARTS CURRICULUM, MATERIALS, AND TRAINING. OUR LESSONS DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, CREATIVITY, AND COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING THROUGH HANDS-ON-LEARNING. AIA DEVELOPS LESSONS THAT TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT S.T.E.A.M, CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING, SOCIAL JUSTICE, HEALING THROUGH ART, ART APPRECIATION AND TECHNIQUE. AIA PROGRAMS SUPPORT SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT BY HELPING CHILDREN BUILDS SKILLS SUCH AS EMPATHY, RESILIENCE, AND SELF-AWARENESS. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH ARTS EDUCATION HAS BEEN SHOWN TO POSITIVELY AFFECT STUDENT CONTENT KNOWLEDGE, CREATE HIGH LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT, AND IMPROVE SKILLS IN COLLABORATION. AIA IGNITES CHILDREN'S IMAGINATIONS TO BECOME INNOVATORS, CREATORS, AND LEADERS PREPARING THEM FOR THE JOBS OF TOMORROW. SINCE OUR INCEPTION IN 1982, ART IN ACTION HAS SERVED MORE THAN 600,000 STUDENTS. LAST YEAR, AIA PROVIDED VISUAL ARTS CURRICULA TO 74,000 STUDENTS IN 570 SCHOOLS AND YOUTH PROGRAMS IN 32 STATES. OVER 51% OF THE CHILDREN WE SERVED ATTENDED UNDER-RESOURCED SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION TO OUR GRANT SUPPORTED SCHOOLS, THE JUDY SLEETH SCHOLARSHIP FUND, NAMED FOR OUR FOUNDER, PROVIDED ART EXPERIENCES TO 6 RURAL SCHOOLS LOCATED IN ILLINOIS, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, MISSISSIPPI, KANSAS, AND NEW YORK. WITHOUT THIS PROGRAM, THESE STUDENTS WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ACCESS TO THE ARTS.
