I just discovered this foundation. They offer grants for arts in education. But the thing I found most intriguing was all their articles on the state of the arts in education in this country. One of the articles that I read was increasing arts demand through better arts learning. Which talked about that right now 8/10 Americans say they participate in the arts but because the arts have been neglected in the schools for 30 years there is growing concern that their world not be in audience for the arts in the upcoming years.
The other thing that the website had a lot of other well-written articles, which if you're in the education field I highly recommend.
Nisha, Thanks for this! It's just what we all need to hear, especially those of us who are going to be spending time getting certified...and hearing: but they're cutting all of the arts funding.... thank you....it'll be great for research, too....Laura
ReplyDeleteI've also found some more information about arts in education. Arts Horizons and say artist in residence program for the New York City metro area. They have a list of resources for artist and teacher's that I found handy.
