About Us

The Atlanta Partnership for Arts in Learning is an artist run laboratory committed to sustained, innovative partnerships between teaching artists and educators with an enlightened trust in artists. Our goals are to enhance both academic and arts education through a flexible, arts infused classroom experience, and to nurture a teaching model for profound learning and thought.

Five Key Components guide the  development of the organization and our programs: Co-teaching, Metaphorical thinking, Equity, Research, Witnessing.  

The organization is made up of dedicated Board and Staff, Teaching Artists, Partners and Schools, and Supporters.

The History of Atlanta Partnership for Arts in Learning began in 2000 when Atlanta educators, artists and community members envisioned bringing arts infusion into Atlanta's schools.
