Overview

The National Endowment for the Arts, in an effort to promote the fact that the arts are a basic component in a good education, to create jobs for artists, and to develop future audiences, developed the Arts in Education program.

Umpqua Valley Arts in Education (AIE) is one of 12 regional AIE programs in Oregon who offer arts enrichment programs for youth, arts education professional development services and resource information for parents and educators.

AIE has been a program of Umpqua Valley Arts Association since 1982 and is supported by the Hallie Brown Ford Foundation, the Oregon Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, other foundations, private contributors and participating schools.

Through AIE programs, professional artists provide hands-on arts activities and experiences in school settings. AIE programs emphasize the value of arts in young peoples' educational and creative development as we strive to support student progress toward Oregon Arts Standards and Benchmarks.
