303 of these schools operating in 372 communities in 44 states are currently members of the Guild. Over two-thirds of Guild members were founded in the last 20 years . Half of those were started after 1990. The Guild's member schools serve an estimated 400,000 students through on-site instruction and outreach programs. Enrollment at these schools range from less than 100 to more than 7,000.
Students range in age from infants to senior citizens.
However, the ethnic and economic profile for each school varies considerably, depending on the community it serves. Tens of thousands of people each year attend over more than 7,000 performances, exhibitions and lectures sponsored by Guild schools. Dozens of schools offer multi-disciplinary and multicultural programs. Over 10,000 professional artists are employed as teachers at these schools.
