Founded in 1995, the Arts Education Partnership (AEP) has worked through its partner organization in leading the national movement to establish education standards that include the arts. Currently the AEP includes over 140 organizations that are national in their scope, and includes government organizations, business groups, and philanthropic foundations. The AEP website is a true cornucopia of helpful material, including a set of arts education links, which contain brief descriptions of each site. Along with this pragmatic material, there is the publication section of the site, which contains full versions of reports on arts assessment, teaching partnerships within the arts, and the impact of the arts on learning. Another important resource made available on the site is an interactive listing of national advocacy resources, such as links to cultural funding opportunities, and opportunities to fund arts education projects through the U.S. Department of Education.
