Every Child an Artist: How AllSet Brings the Arts to Life in Schools

Arts aren’t extra—they’re essential.

Creative expression builds confidence, fosters empathy, and helps students make sense of themselves and the world around them. That’s why our Arts programs are designed to do more than teach techniques—they inspire students to think critically, take creative risks, and share their voice.

Arts Education That Honors Every Learner

Our Arts programming spans fine arts, visual arts, music, dance, and theater—inviting students to explore a wide range of creative disciplines in hands-on, joyful, and culturally responsive ways.

What makes AllSet Arts programs stand out?

🎨 Process Over Perfection: We emphasize growth mindset and self-expression over final products, helping students take pride in the creative process.

🌍 Culturally Responsive Curriculum: Students see themselves reflected in the stories, artists, and art forms they study—while also learning about others.

🧠 Aligned With the Brain Science: Arts education supports social-emotional learning, language development, and executive function—building both hearts and minds.

Creative Pathways for Every Interest

Our programs offer something for every kind of artist—whether they’re sketching in a notebook, dancing in the hallway, or performing for an audience. Some of our most popular offerings include:

🏺 Clay Connections: From pinch pots and coil creatures to textured tiles and memory sculptures, students learn foundational techniques while developing emotional expression, problem-solving, and sensory regulation.

🤡 Clowning Around: Students explore the magic of circus arts to build coordination, confidence, and creativity.

Embedded, Enriching, and Equitable

Whether part of an after-school program, Saturday enrichment, or school day AllCovered arts rotation, AllSet’s teaching artists bring expertise and energy to every classroom. We build strong partnerships with schools to ensure that our Arts programs support your broader goals and Prop 28 budget—whether that’s boosting student engagement, enriching ELO-P offerings, or strengthening school climate.

Art as a Pathway to Belonging

When students are given space to create, they feel seen. They connect with others. They feel like they matter. That’s the power of arts education—and that’s the heart of what we do at AllSet.
