We see a powerful and disturbing disconnect. Our young people are growing up in a visual age, spending hours in front of screens and being bombarded by imagery almost every where they go. At the same time, America’s schools often are reducing rather than expanding the training in the visual arts that our young people receive.
We have a plan to address it with knowledge, understanding and creativity. As some of the nation’s leading advocates for the visual arts, we believe that with reflective dialog that we grow stronger. Be sure to check out our Advocacy section for more information on promoting the arts. We’re taking this effort online.
We want to hear about successes with integrating the arts, providing excellent teaching, recognizing and promoting the intrinsic and extrinsic values of the arts and much more.
We’re offering you the tools to be a leader and organize your community.
