State Seal of Arts Proficiency: History and Objectives
The Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency was signed into law by Governor Doug Ducey on May 14th, 2019. SB1111 had bipartisan support and was a grassroots effort from Arts Education Advocates from across the state. Senator Paul Boyer served as the bill’s sponsor.
The goals of the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency are:
To celebrate students who demonstrate high levels of proficiency in the Arizona Arts Education Standards through personal expression and creative experiences in arts education programs
To identify pathways of artistic literacy that cultivate skills for 21st century success
To prepare students for college and career readiness, including active participation in the creative industries sector
To promote increased access to well-rounded, high quality arts education across the state
