AEMS is a statewide partnership dedicated to advancing the cause of arts as a basic component of public education.

 
 

Our mission is to build support for high-quality, systemic arts education – dance, music, theatre and visual arts – for all Maryland schoolchildren.

The AEMS Alliance is a Member of the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network

 

   
 
 
 

AEMS strives to support the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Goal approved in 1995 that…all students will have the opportunity to participate in programs that enable them to meet Maryland content and achievement standards in the arts.  We work in close conjunction with the Maryland Fine Arts Education Advisory Panel to implement the MSDE Board policy on arts education.  In addition, AEMS serves as a resource for local school systems.
  AEMS Alliance partners are: Maryland State Arts Council, Maryland State Department of Education, Maryland Citizens for the Arts, Community Arts Alliance of Maryland, Maryland Art Education Association, Maryland Business Roundtable Foundation, Maryland Council for Dance, Maryland Music Educators Association, Maryland Association of Elementary School Principals, Maryland Association of Secondary School Principals, and Maryland PTA , VSA arts Maryland, Maryland State Teachers Association, Baltimore Theatre Alliance and Young Audiences of Maryland.
