equity in arts education

Equity in arts education means ensuring all students have fair access to quality arts learning opportunities, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or circumstances. It recognizes that some students face barriers—such as lack of resources or support—that can hinder participation. By addressing these disparities, equity aims to create an inclusive environment where every student can develop creativity, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. Ultimately, equitable arts education values diversity and strives to provide personalized support so all students can benefit from the transformative power of the arts.
