Patchogue Arts Council's (PAC), PEACE (Partners in Education, Arts, & Community Empowerment) project empowers educators and cultural partners in Suffolk county middle and high schools to make more effective use of the arts for underrepresented students through College, Career, and Civic Readiness (CCCR) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining education (CR-S).

…Brings Teachers & Cultural Partners Together for arts-based professional development in an annual summer institute, a monthly online community of practice, and monthly cultural gatherings called “PEACE Outs” to tackle issues of teaching and learning through the arts and raising up the voices and needs of underrepresented learners.

…Grows a Critical Community of Practice as a wide network of informed teachers, specialists, college/career counselors, school administrators, teaching artists, museums, performing arts centers, community, and cultural organizations who are empowered to use arts-based partnerships, instruction, and social justice practices to make visible the value of every person.

…Provides Partnership Resources through funding, communication, and technical support among schools and cultural partners to ensure that robust arts education partnerships thrive for many years to come.

…Amplifies 21st Century Ideas by sharing best practices, materials, and methods across a national network as well as a county-wide youth advisory group.
