Americans for the Arts is supporting a petition which many of you may know is rare for this organization. Here is why it is rare. Very often petitions include divisive elements and Americans for the Arts is at its core pan-disciplinary. Primarily that means that the Arts are a part of every other aspect of life. Supporting Arts at the cost of other elements is not a platform that Americans for the Arts is willing to engage in.
So, this rare petition supports an expansion of Arts in a way that does not eliminate anything. This program would support teaching artists working in low-income schools that do not have arts education. More details about this program can be found by clicking through the link below.
