OUR MEMBERS TELL US
The Music Settlement:
"CAEC’s importance as a convener of our community’s arts educators – large and small alike - cannot be understated. This fostering of collaboration and sharing of resources is essential to the sustainability of arts and culture opportunities, resulting in services to new and wider audiences through the opportunities it provides its members."
Karamu House:
"We have enjoyed years-long membership in the CAEC. CAEC provides valuable space for intentional networking that supports arts education professionals to crystalize best practices and the most effective ways to serve our youth."
Art House:
"All the services and opportunities that CAEC provides helped to forge an active regional members network, making us a better, more cohesive arts education advocacy group. CAEC is a tremendous resource for program and executive staff. Without CAEC, the greater Cleveland area would not be the culturally vital center that it has become."
Playhouse Square:
"Where else can organizations, regardless of staff size or budget, work closely with colleagues across disciplines and zip codes in our region? CAEC unites the arts education leaders in our community, breaks down silos, enriches its members and more importantly enriches the lives of the constituents those member organizations serve."
Dancing Wheels Company:
"CAEC is a much-needed organization that supports and nurtures arts in education. It connects, shares information, and educates the arts and education communities like no other organization does. We learn from each other and are given opportunities to exchange information and learn the most updated information in the academic world. We have had the honor of being a member of this outstanding organization for many years and look forward to many years ahead in our mutual quest for inclusive and equitable arts education."
