The primary mission of the Iowa Alliance for Arts Education is to increase awareness, recognition and support of policies, practices, and partnerships that ensure and advance quality arts education for all Iowans.

The Alliance provides a unified message with strength in numbers, acting as one state arts education advocacy association. This includes continual contact and coordinated leadership with all of the major arts education associations, the Iowa Department of Education, the Iowa Arts Council, the Iowa Association of School Boards, the School Administrators of Iowa and AEA consultants responsible for arts support in our schools, who operate as collaborative and advisory organizations for IAAE.  It provides a strong voice for arts inclusion education for the whole child in those discussions, in which proposed education changes take place, affecting arts education on state and national levels. This includes assistance in proactive and reactive advocacy to maintain quality arts programs.

Additionally, the IAAE works to provide and administer a Mentor Program for beginning arts teachers funded in part from the Iowa Legislature, provide arts education information and professional development resources in areas current to member needs, and provide assistance in proactive and reactive advocacy to maintain quality arts programs.
