Arts Education Connection San Diego (AECsd) is looking for people with a passion for our mission to join our board of Directors! Our purpose is championing the idea that every act of art counts. As a connection between Arts and Education, we show the ripple effect of what art can do for local students, classrooms, families, and communities. We strive to put arts in every classroom and believe that arts are essential, learning is critical, and art in learning is transformative. Click here for more information.
