SPARK! Arts Ignite Learning: A Case Study about Coalition Building as a Lever of Implementation and a Key to Scaling.

This case study focuses on SPARK! Arts Ignite Learning (SPARK!), a community partner of the John F. Kennedy Center’s Any Given Child initiative. Founded in 2014, SPARK! works as a collaboration of local artists, arts organizations, business and community leaders, the city of Missoula, Missoula County Public Schools (MCPS), parents, philanthropists, and the University of Montana to ensure equity and access to a comprehensive arts education ecosystem for all K-8 MCPS students.
