“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’"

As we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we also say thank you to the artists, arts orgs, and arts leaders across the country whose work helps make communities healthier & more vibrant. #MLKDay

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

An arts education is essential to the whole of education. Art heals. Art inspires. Art engages. It shapes our thinking, and it moves us to action.

Raising the bar in education must include the arts.

The arts help students not only understand the world around them, but themselves. When students see themselves reflected in their arts education, they can reach deeper understanding of their world. Advocate for more empathy in your community with us!
