Community Partnership

During the past nine years AAEP has partnered with Parent-Teacher Organizations and the Bellingham, Lynden, Blaine, Ferndale, Meridian, and Mount Baker school districts. Cooperative planning with district personnel and local arts organizations has deepened the understanding of educational needs allowing AAEP to create well-planned, broad-based arts offerings that have significant impact on our children’s arts education.

Arts organization partnerships include long-time coalitions with the Whatcom Museum, the Family Interactive Gallery, Western Washington University, and the historic Mount Baker Theater.

New partners include the Spark Museum for Electrical Invention, the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra, and RE Sources for Sustainable Communities.

These collaborations allow us to build strong, more comprehensive arts education for Whatcom County students.
