SPARK! ensures every thread is supported and woven together to create a vibrant and comprehensive arts education for every K – 8 student in Edmonds School District Public Schools.

Our mission is to enhance curriculum in the arts across subject areas by providing students with enriching and challenging multidisciplinary learning opportunities. To do this we pair local artists with teachers at the district in classroom-based Direct Learning Residencies, integrating art into other core subjects. These residencies provide opportunities for students to engage more deeply with their learning, making connections between their curriculum, themselves, and their community.

By bringing the arts to students in the classroom we remove barriers to access and aim to engage all students.
