Take Action for Arts Education

How to Support Arts Education

Now is a vital time to show our support for arts education and federal programs that increase its availability by encouraging legislators to make every effort to provide sustained funding to programs critical to arts education. We urge our members, parents, advocates, and all those who support the arts to reach out to their elected officials in Congress.
