Communication
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
With decreased funding for arts education in public schools, students rarely have opportunities to move past rudimentary exposure to the arts. Arts organizations and agencies are helping fill the gap with teaching artist-in-residence programs, but many organizations focus on art-making and could use support in educational program development and teacher training. Additionally schools often don't have the resources to identify and coordinate sustainable partnerships with arts organizations.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Pulse Arts aims to develop arts education programs in partnership with professional creatives, facilitating equitable access to quality programs for youth.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We will be writing project-specific grants for artist in residence programs and doing outreach to arts organizations and school districts in the Sacramento to offer support and services. We hope to be able to offer consulting services at a subsidized rate and are in the process of generating a strategic plan for the organization.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We are currently seeking support with development and sustainability. The organization is activated when there are grants available or when we are hired for program development or curriculum writing. We are collaborating with other organizations and public schools. We activate our staff when there is a project or work. We have extended capability to develop and execute programs, but as a new organization do not have full time staff unless funding comes in for a project.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We implemented a 1.7 million dollar grant, trained over 75 teachers, developed and implemented a dance integration program that expanded to 25 classrooms, hosted 3 public arts events in the community, issued $20,000 in teacher mini-grants for arts integrations, and written a Tk-4th grade ELD arts integration theater curriculum for Transcendence Theater
