The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, Missoula County Public Schools (MCPS), the City of Missoula, the Missoula Cultural Council, and a broad range of local arts organizations have teamed up to help bring our community the Any Given Child Initiative. The program, developed by the Kennedy Center, focuses on ensuring equal access to diverse arts learning opportunities for any given child in our community.

Equity in and access to a strong arts education remains an issue for too many students. For most young people, access to arts education during their school years is sporadic and uneven. They may have access during some years and none during others.
