Abstract: California stands at a pivotal moment in the trajectory of arts education. With the passage of the Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Act in 2022 and ongoing efforts by philanthropic and advocacy organizations to address gaps in access to and participation in high-quality arts education experiences, the state has both a mandate and an opportunity to reimagine what arts learning looks like across its diverse school communities. In light of this moment, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation commissioned this report to support an evaluation and forthcoming strategy refresh of the Performing Arts Program's Youth Policy and Advocacy substrategy. The Hewlett Foundation envisions a California in which all students have "equitable access to a high-quality arts education" and awards grants in pursuit of that vision. The foundation defines "high-quality" as arts education that is culturally responsive, student-centered, and standards-based. This report presents a landscape scan of arts education in California in light of the evolving conditions catalyzed by new funding and policy shifts. The findings draw from a document review including research reports, policy documents, and news articles; 21 interviews with Hewlett Foundation grantee partners and field experts; and a March 2025 convening of Hewlett Foundation grantee partners. The report is designed to support funders, advocates, and policymakers as they work to strengthen the conditions for equitable access to a high-quality arts education.
