Arts Partners Standards of Practice Community Gathering

The APSP Community Gathering is the first in a series of partner conversations designed to create meaningful space for connection, shared learning, and collective insight. Whether you are familiar with APSP or are joining the conversation for the first time, this session invites partners to explore partnership practice together, reflect on what supports high quality and impactful experiences for students, and surface perspectives that will shape future conversations in this series.

Through dialogue, peer exchange, and shared reflection, we will begin identifying the ideas and priorities that can strengthen collaboration across Chicago’s arts education community. As part of this work, we will also begin exploring elements that can inform the emerging arts partner designation criteria named in the new Arts Education Plan, ensuring partner voice and lived experience guide how these criteria take shape.
