Methow Arts facilitates a regional consortium of public schools, businesses and community entities that bring ideas and resources to arts education. Methow Arts partners with seven rural school districts (Brewster, Leavenworth, Methow Valley, Okanogan, Omak, Pateros, and the Paschal Sherman Indian School on the Colville Reservation) to provide opportunities for students to gain essential skills in the arts through residencies with artists. Lessons both deepen and expand other learning areas through the arts, and provide art specific learning.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Methow Arts has provided arts education opportunities to support remote learning, to keep students engaged with the visual, literary, and performing arts. Art instruction videos and tutorials are created by a roster of teaching artists and are aligned with Washington State Arts Learning Standards.
