There are two priority areas for arts education advocacy at the federal level: strengthening the arts in the Elementary & Secondary Education Act (most recently called the No Child Left Behind Act), and the Arts in Education program at the U.S. Department of Education.
U.S. Department of Education's Arts in Education programs support the development of models for K-12 arts education, professional development for arts educators, the national activities of the Kennedy Center, and VSA, which serves student and artists with disabilities.
Please take a few minutes to write to your members of Congress and ask them to support strengthening arts education in federal policy. To learn more about the Arts in Education programs,
