Contact your elected Representative in Washington and tell them to VOTE NO on the Brecheen FY'25 Interior Appropriations amendments. Don't allow any more cuts to arts & humanities funding! #StandUp4Arts
Enjoyed speaking to the Arts Education Leadership Committee this morning which is comprised of the Alabama Arts Education Association, Alabama Music Educators Association, Alabama Educational Theatre Association, & Alabama Dance Educators Association K12.
I’m humbled & honored to be appointed by Gov. Ivey to serve as a member of the AL State Council on the Arts.
I look forward to supporting & promoting Alabama’s visual and performing artists, highlighting the variety of Art forms found in AL, & advocating for access to arts ed.
Our 4th graders are so excited to hear Brian Nabors’ “Letters from Birmingham”, commissioned by the @ALSymphony ! Such a great connection to our AL history standards! Thank you @RobLyda for the awesome lesson ideas! @vhcschools@VHDollyRidge
CALL TO ACTION! Urgent action is needed to prevent catastrophic cuts to Title I and the elimination of Title II funding, which would be devastating to music programs. Send a letter to your representatives before Thursday, September 28! Take action here: https://t.co/2KGMYgT7pD
