New York City Arts in Education Roundtable

The New York City Arts in Education Roundtable is a service organization and a community of arts education practitioners sharing information, providing professional development, and communicating with the public to promote our work in schools and beyond. The Roundtable produces the annual arts in education conference, Face to Face; monthly professional development programs; and other activities, in addition to ongoing advocacy and communications efforts.

Commitments to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: 

The New York City Arts in Education Roundtable is committed to equity, inclusion, and justice. We acknowledge our complicity in the long history of systemic racism within our country and the institutions of power in our city. We will continue to work to dismantle white supremacy within our organizations, schools, and communities. We offer these commitments to our membership and the arts education field:

1) The Roundtable is committed to eliminating barriers and revealing pathways to cultural equity and inclusion in arts education, through our programming and our membership.

2) The Roundtable is committed to eliminating barriers to advancement for professionals from underrepresented communities.

3) The Roundtable is committed to responsive listening and transparency so that not only are we sharing our “best practices” but our challenges and questions as well.

4) The Roundtable is committed to advocating for professional wages, employment benefits and fair working conditions for arts education practitioners’ quality and standard of living.
