Local School Arts Program Advocacy

Protecting arts education protects more than a subject — it protects a piece of our community identity. Here are ways you can advocate to keep fine arts education in your schools and community. Your voice can help protect these programs.

Want to help protect fine arts education? Start here:

• Attend your local school board or city meeting

• Ask questions about arts funding and programming

• Speak up during public comment

• Email local leaders
• Share posts with your community to support fine arts education

Americans for the Arts (AFTA) has created a new resource hub on their website to support Threats to Artistic Freedom. Find updates on activity across the United States related to advocacy in this area.
