A child’s education is not complete unless it includes the arts. Involvement in arts is linked to higher academic performance, increased standardized test scores, more community service, and lower dropout rates at all socioeconomic levels.

Hawai‘i arts education is at risk. The proportion of public school arts educators to deliver services to students is approximately 2,570 to 1. In secondary schools throughout the state, the ratio of arts teachers to students averages about 150-180 to 1. Potential budget cuts will further threaten the survival of a complete education for our youth.

Hawai‘i Arts Alliance’s work strives to bridge this education gap. In 2001, the Hawai‘i Arts Alliance advocated for a law mandating implementation of the ARTS FIRST Strategic Plan for statewide standards-based arts education. We developed and implemented the ARTS FIRST Toolkit for teaching artists and elementary classroom teachers. We provide training to our teaching artists who deliver standards-based arts education and arts integration with other core subjects. We provide a sustainable framework for arts education that includes an integrated curriculum with artistic mentoring and professional development.

Who we served in FY 2011

• 744 Teachers

• 15,908 Students

• 200 Teaching Artists

• 3,000 Arts Alliance Action Network advocates

• 46,000 participants at The ARTS at Marks Garage:

Hawai‘i Arts Alliance’s work bridges gaps in our education system and strengthens the learning environment by:

• Providing professional development for teachers in the arts through workshops and the ARTS FIRST Institute
(reaching 700-800 teachers every year)
• Training teaching artists to work hand-in-hand with educators in the classroom
(impacting more than 15,900 children in the classroom)
• Being a resource of supplementary video lessons in our Arts Education eCenter

State Captain, Americans for the Arts

State Arts Action Network (SAAN)
imageSAAN Overview and Services

Hawai`i Arts Alliance acts as Hawai`i's State Captain for Arts Advocacy. The SAAN serves as the meeting place for statewide multidiscipline arts service or advocacy organizations to gather to discuss common issues. In order for an organization to be part of the SAAN, it must be a member of Americans for the Arts. To see the complete list of SAAN members, please see our roster. An elected council governs the network based upon the operating procedures. Two members of the Americans for the Arts staff, Director of State & Local Government Affairs Jay Dick and State & Local Government Affairs Coordinator Tim Mikulski serve as the staff members for the SAAN.

The network meets in person twice each year, once in conjunction with Arts Advocacy Day in Washington, DC, and once at the Americans for the Arts Annual Convention. Additionally, the network hosts several professional development conference calls to discuss issues of interest and concern to its members. The network also has a special "SAAN members-only" section where this information is posted for members' exclusive use. Members of the network also receive a weekly email newsletter detailing state and local arts news and legislative tracking across the country.

SAAN Projects/Awards

The SAAN has also conducted independent research into areas of mutual interest. Under the auspices of Americans for the Arts, the SAAN has compiled a publication of the various statewide organizations and a treatise on what makes a strong and successful organization. This publication, The State of the Field: A Look at Statewide Arts Advocacy and Service Organizations, is provided to every network member and is available for purchase in the Americans for the Arts bookstore.

Americans for the Arts, at the behest of the SAAN, has recently established the Alene Valkanas State Arts Advocacy Award. This award is presented to an individual who, at the state level, has dramatically affected the political landscape through their arts advocacy efforts. The award is named for Alene Valkanas. Widely seen as the preeminent authority on state arts advocacy, Alene is an original SAAN member and served as the first co-chair of the SAAN Council.

SAAN History

The network was formed on March 29, 2004, when Americans for the Arts announced that two previously independent national arts organizations, the State Arts Advocacy League of America (SAALA) and the National Community Arts Network (NCAN), had ratified an agreement to become part of Americans for the Arts.

The joining together of these two organizations with Americans for the Arts is consistent with the bold five-year strategic plan recently developed by Americans for the Arts as a result of a $120 million gift from philanthropist Ruth Lilly. In that plan, created through a year-long planning process, Americans for the Arts identified the need for creating a statewide advocacy organization and a statewide service organization in every state. The State Arts Action Council and State Arts Action Network will strengthen and build arts advocacy and service infrastructure in the United States at the national, state, and local levels. Among other outcomes, it will help shape public policy, initiate effective advocacy campaigns, set research agendas, provide meaningful professional development, and provide peer-to-peer networking opportunities to emerging arts organizations.

    ARTS FIRST


    ARTS FIRST was initiated when the Hawai`i State Legislature enacted ACT 80/99. This legislation named the arts as a core subject in Hawai`i prior to the No Child Left Behind national mandate. It also called for Hawai'i's major stakeholders in arts education to revise the State's Fine Arts standards and develop a strategic plan. In 2001, ACT 306/01 was passed into law formally naming the ARTS FIRST Partners and mandating the implementation of the strategic plan.

    The goals of ARTS FIRST Hawai`i Strategic Plan for Arts Education are twofold:

    1) To guarantee a comprehensive arts education based on the Hawai`i Content and Performance Standards for every elementary student in the State; and

    2) To enable every high school student to achieve the standards in one or more of the arts disciplines by grade 12. The plan builds upon four objectives - Advocacy, Research, Teaching, Standards.

    To achieve these goals, the ARTS FIRST Partners created an ESSENTIAL ARTS Toolkit for for K-5, generalist classroom teachers. The Toolkit provides a standards-based framework that integrates the arts into curriculum linked with other core subjects, mathematics, science, language arts, social studies.

    Critical Evidence: How the Arts Benefit Student Achievement
    Written by Sandra S. Ruppert

    Why is it so important to keep the arts strong in our schools? How does the study of the arts contribute to student achievement and success?

    These and other important questions are addressed in a new booklet published by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) in collaboration with the Arts Education Partnership (AEP). Critical Evidence: How the Arts Benefit Student Achievement responds to the needs of policymakers, educators, parents and advocates for fact-based, non-technical language documenting the most current and compelling research on the value of arts learning experiences.

    Critical Evidence updates and expands on the case made for arts education in NASAA's earlier collaboration with the Arts in Education Partnership, Eloquent Evidence: Arts at the Core of Learning, originally published in 1995. "Ten year's after its release," observes Critical Evidence author Sandra S. Ruppert, "the evidence is even more eloquent, and the need to demonstrate the link between the arts and student achievement has grown more critical." 2006, 20 pages.

    Bright Ideas for Community Change Report

    Bright Ideas for Community Change Report

    The Bright Ideas award was developed as an incentive and follow-up to the Mayor’s Chinatown Summit. Ten winners were awarded a maximum of $4000 each for community change ideas contributing to the development of Chinatown and the emerging Arts District. The awards were funded by the Ford Foundation with matching funds from American Savings Bank, Bank of Hawai‘i, Central Pacific Bank, First Hawaiian Bank, and Hawai‘i National Bank. The effort, coordinated by the Hawai‘i Arts Alliance, sought entries from individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations and others, in the categories of affordable housing, youth, children & families, community identity, education, culture and the arts, cultural tourism, health, historic preservation, homelessness, neighborhood safety and beautification, recreation, transportation/access, and ideas for enhancing livability in the neighborhood.

    Each awardee is expected to use funds to develop a full proposal for implementation support. They will be receiving technical assistance from Hawai‘i Alliance for Community-Based Economic Development (HACBED) that will also help connect each awardee to other financial and community development resources. The City & County of Honolulu is also committed to pursuing support and resources to help the very best ideas come to fruition.
