Please join us in celebrating our new name: National Guild for Community Arts Education (formerly the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts).

By retaining "National Guild" we reaffirm our identity as an association of arts education providers committed to the values of quality, accessibility and accountability. The change to "for" further signals our commitment to advocating for increased access to lifelong learning opportunities in the arts.

To mark the occasion, we also are pleased to unveil our new logo signifying “many horizons, one vision.”

Founded in 1937, the National Guild is the sole national service organization for community arts education providers. While our name has changed, our vision of a nation where all Americans have access to arts learning opportunities throughout their life spans remains constant. Our dynamic member network of arts education organizations includes community schools of the arts, arts and cultural centers, preparatory programs, and arts education divisions of performing arts companies, museums, parks and recreation departments, and others.

As National Guild members collectively work toward their common goal, their impact on the lives of the students and communities they serve is enduring and profound.
