About PAE
Parents for Arts Education is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing awareness to the importance of visual and performing arts education in our schools and communities. In the age of AI, we know the importance of learning human skills that lead to success in any field and have witnessed how these skills are developed through music, dance, theater, and art programs.
By gathering all of the art disciplines to have one voice to encourage, support and advocate for these programs and empowering current and former parents and students to share our experiences, we can ensure decision makers and the next generation of parents make informed decisions for their student's success.

"Together we can ensure all students have access to fine arts education and build the human skills needed for success - the skills a computer can never replace! "
- Trina Martin, Founder of Parents for Arts Education
Our Mission
Parents for Arts Education brings together current and former parents, students, teachers, administrators and arts enthusiasts to encourage, support and advocate for strong music, dance, theater and visual arts education in our local schools and communities.


Our Vision
A community that encourages and supports parents to involve their children in fine arts at every age as part of a well rounded education. Every school in this community offers strong fine arts education with qualified teachers where all students can benefit from these programs and graduate with the essential human skills needed for success in any field.
