Networking

Artists, teachers, community can connect with colleagues and see what's happening at the local, state, and national level by participating in any of these networks. Partners for Arts Education provides access to any of these organizations via this site and year-round program collaborations.

Statewide Networking

NYS Roundtables
In Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, NYCity, & Long Island there are opportunities to meet face-to-face with other teachers, artists, cultural folks and explore shared issues in arts education.

New York State Local Capacity Building Sites (LCB)
Funding for arts in education partnerships is available for every county in NYS as re-grants from the New York State Council on the Arts. Most of the LCB sites are connected to a regional arts council or cultural organization. (art$TART is the LCB re-grant administered by PAE for Central New York.)

Regional Learning and Leadership Networks (RLLN)
The Regional Learning and Leadership Networks are consortia of NYSCA-funded ESP Partnerships. Through a variety of professional development offerings, each RLLN develops a learning community and supports the natural leadership role of ESP teams in their regions. State regions include: Western, Central, Hudson Valley/Capitol, NYC-HS, NYC-MS, and NYC Elementary.
