The Subsidized Marketplace for Arts-in-Education, or How can CHANGE Work for YOU?!

SO, WHAT IS CHANGE ARTS?

CHANGE Arts (Challenging Hurdles to Access, Nurturing Growth and Empathy) aims to make intentional arts access limitless for classrooms and communities in underserved areas, thereby nurturing the desire for lifelong experiences with the arts. To realize the Access part of our mission, CHANGE is building:

Find Your Art (FYA), a web-based platform and subsidized marketplace for educators to identify the best arts events and arts education services to enhance their teaching and create dynamic, student-first educational experiences. The right story for the right audience at the right time. 

AND HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED?

What’s Happening in 2026:

As CHANGE builds the excitement and market or FYA, we are engaging teachers and arts organizations in low-tech pilots, matchmaking classrooms to the cultural event that addresses its curricular goals, and serving as the liaison, coordinator, and curriculum developer to ensure the experience is fruitful for both the classroom and its cultural partner. 

How Can You Be Part of the Art?

• Participate in a focus group to work out the kinks, clickthroughs, and functionalities for Find Your Art (FYA). 
• Are you a teacher who is interested in partnering for a pilot, or hearing more about arts integration, cross-disciplinary strategies?
• Do you represent an arts organization eager for more community involvement?
• Pass this along to a teacher passionate about the arts or an arts organization invested in educational engagement.
