Problem

While we know the positive impact that study of the arts has children’s achievement, arts education is often the first thing to be cut because of budget concerns. Today, the erosion of arts education in America’s public schools has reached a crisis level, even as global competition makes our need to prepare an innovative, creative future workforce more acute. Now more than ever, our kids deserve arts education in their schools.
