The State of Art Education Survey

Art education is constantly evolving—with new technologies, new teaching approaches, and a new generation of learners leading the way. To understand and support this evolution, the Center for the Advancement of Art Education gathers and shares the voices of art educators through our State of Art Education surveys.

Here, you’ll find an archive of survey results collected over multiple years, capturing the shifting challenges, passions, and priorities of art teachers nationwide. In 2025, the CAAE expanded this important work by launching an additional survey of school administrators, providing deeper insights into how visual arts programs are supported at the leadership level.

Together, these surveys offer a comprehensive look at where art education has been—and where it’s headed. By listening, learning, and leading together, we can build a vibrant, sustainable future for the field.
