THE OPPORTUNITY GAP
TALENT IS EVERYWHERE.
OPPORTUNITY ISN'T.
Arts access is not evenly distributed. We believe access to books, creative tools, working artists, and hands-on opportunities should not depend on a child's ZIP code.
2.1M
U.S. public-school students lack access to any arts education.
3.6M
U.S. public-school students lack access to music education.
72% vs 87%
Music offered at high-poverty vs. low-poverty public schools.
