Advocacy

  • Visualize a World Where Support for the Arts Abounds. Take Action! 
    Have your voice heard in your backyard and on Capitol Hill. As professional art educators, we know and understand the essential value that visual arts education holds for learners. 

    But do others know and understand? Your school leaders? Parents? Your elected representatives? School Board members? Your local media? Who needs to hear your voice? What are the critical legislative issues affecting art education? 

  • It's time we bring our knowledge and our voice to art education advocacy!
Don't know how to find your representatives? Do you need advice on how to engage with your elected officials? Look no further! This document has lots of helpful information.
