We support arts education for all.

Amp Up Arts is a statewide 501(c)3 nonprofit arts education organization with a strong commitment to promoting increased access to preK-12 arts education and fostering artistic talents in our communities. We believe in equitable arts access for all Alabama students through art teachers, teaching artists, and arts organization partnerships.

In schools, we:

• Provide in-school, after-school, and summer programs support academic achievement, creativity, critical thinking skills, school culture, and student engagement through all art forms
• Assist school leaders in obtaining funding to support arts residencies and experiences
• Collect and disseminate data on student access, engagement, and facilitation of school’s individual arts education goals

In communities, we:

• Connect organizations, schools, educators and teaching artists together through strategic planning and community meetings
• Provide professional development to teaching artists and educators to prepare and support them as they teach in schools
• Create and share advocacy resources for community members to use to put advocacy into action
• Educate communities, educators, and schools on the importance of advocacy and actionable steps to create sustainable arts education in their area
