Who We Are
Arts Access Miami is transforming how arts and music education organizations collaborate. Instead of competing for funding and students, we unite 25 of Miami’s top arts education organizations under a shared strategy to ensure that every child, from K-12th grade across a single community has access to free, high-quality arts education.
Uniting communities through the arts
The mission of Arts Access Miami is to build music and arts education alliances. The goal is to identify and mobilize arts and music organizations for every child across whole communities, one feeder pattern at a time.
