Advocacy & PolicyHave your voice heard in your back yard and on Capitol Hill. As professional art educators, we know and understand the essential value that visual arts education holds for learners. But what about others—school leaders, parents, elected representatives, school Board members, local media? What are the critical legislative issues affecting art education? It’s time we bring our knowledge and our voice to art education advocacy to ensure equity and access for all students!

Learn & ToolsWe face an immense challenge to prepare all students for the 21st century with rigorous and relevant art education. Gain the professional edge through a variety of opportunities. Share and find innovative lesson plans, resources, and tools. Through the Monthly Mentor blog, communicate with colleagues who know what it’s like to walk in your shoes.

National Art Honor SocietiesFor more than 40 years, the National Art Honor Society programs have provided national recognition and opportunities for students who exhibit outstanding scholarship in the visual arts, and for their teachers. In this time of uncertainty and potential isolation, connecting and acknowledging outstanding visual arts students is more imperative than ever. Participation in NAHS provides your students, faculty, school, and community with invaluable benefits—including peer recognition, leadership growth opportunities, college and career preparation, recognition of your art program, and so much more.
