AIEA is a non-profit organization whose sole mission is to provide comprehensive arts education professional development services to schools throughout Alabama. Our philosophy is that all children, not just the gifted and talented, benefit from an intensive study of the arts and are entitled to that opportunity. Comprehensive arts education is not just a curriculum but rather a method of teaching and learning, focusing on the inquiry method that emphasizes creative and higher order thinking skills, requiring students to analyze, synthesize, explain, justify and make critical judgments about the work being studied.
