AWSP is excited to announce our participation in ArtsEd Washington's latest project, "Stay Inside the Lines, Washington." This unique coloring book celebrates the incredible talent of Washington-based artists while also raising funds to bring more art resources to our schools.

Since its first release in 2020, this coloring book has highlighted artists from Seattle. Now, in its second volume, it expands to include captivating artwork from counties across the state, from Clallam to Yakima. We’re proud that AWSP has contributed a coloring page, adding to this meaningful collection, reminding others that kids come first! 

Here's the best part: for every coloring book purchased during the limited-time pre-order, another will be donated to a school in need. All proceeds will support ArtsEd Washington’s “Color For The Arts Fund,” providing essential art supplies to schools across Washington.

Pre-order your copy here, and bring a piece of Washington’s creative spirit into your home just in time for the holiday season. Let’s support art in education together!

We know not everyone is able to read each e-newsletter or email we send out. Bookends is one more way of keeping you in the loop "in case you missed it." We send it twice per year - once in the fall and once in the spring. (The newsletter "bookends" the year, so to speak!) Take it with you on a plane, to a game, to the beach, or anywhere else you might have a moment to check out what your professional association is doing to grow, support, and sustain school leaders in Washington state.
