ArtsBridge Sites

In response to the need for arts instruction in our public schools, The University of California's Irvine campus developed the first ArtsBridge program in 1996. In 1997, California's Department of Education called for an educational renaissance to revive artistic achievement in our schools. The following year, the state legislature perceived the strength of the ArtsBridge model and the potential of the 8 UC campuses to contribute to this desired renaissance in arts education. Funding was allocated to develop the program across the University of California system. In 2001, a grant from the U.S Department of Education’s Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) funded the dissemination of the ArtsBridge model for programs on 11 new campuses. In 2005, the national ArtsBridge America office moved to Lawrence University of Wisconsin and the UC ArtsBridge Office moved to UC San Diego. There are currently ArtsBridge programs on 31 university campuses in 16 states and at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland.

For more information about an ArtsBridge program in your area, contact the ArtsBridge Director at your nearest ArtsBridge Campus. To learn how your university campus can join the network, please contact us.
