It's National Arts in Education week!! How are you celebrating? Here's one way, if you're looking for ideas.

🎨🎵 National Arts in Education Week starts now (September 13–19).

All week, we’re making the case that every student, in every community, deserves access to a quality arts education — and this year, we need your voice more than ever.

Here’s one way to jump in: on September 17, 3:00–4:15 PM ET, join our first in a series of Community Conversations. It’s a chance to help shape a National Arts Agenda — grounded in what’s actually happening in communities across the country. We'll share real data, actionable tools, and a collective vision for the future.
