We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to make music and create art at an early age as essential, important, and relevant to a complete education.

Artistic Education Company offers an Out of School Time - Creative Arts Enrichment Program for youth of all ages at participating AISD schools to actively promote music, art, and theater programming through need-based tuition assistance and supporting social & emotional development.

Artistic Education offers an out-of-school outreach and enrichment program with creativity classes, instrumental music clubs, and homework assistance for elementary (K-5) and secondary (6-12) grades at participating AISD schools. AEC also offers a musical theater program and vocal performance lab for youth in grades 6-12 at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, held one day per week following the Austin ISD school calendar. In partnership with the Rainbow Housing Authority Corporation, Artistic Education offers an out-of-school enrichment program to three under-served apartment complex communities for youth in grades 6-11.

Instruments are provided on loan to students for the duration of the program and students have the opportunity to perform as the opening act, “Amplifying Voices of Tomorrow,” at our annual concert series, Austin Glitz & Glam Concert.

The program supports social and emotional development and dual language.

Artistic Education Company offers a PACE program that incorporates creative arts education in an aftercare setting at one Austin ISD elementary school campus. More information is found at the MINDPOP Information Link.
