television ads

Americans for the Arts, The NAMM Foundation, and the Ad Council have collaborated with Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment to create new PSAs.  As an extension of the current campaign, the new PSAs use characters from Disney's Little Einsteins™ to promote arts education to children pre-K to 8th grade and their parents.  The PSAs show that the arts are beneficial as they encourage both children and parents to participate in the arts together.  The characters’ adventures with the arts help kids develop creativity and self-expression while emphasizing teamwork, friendship, and exploration.

We are very excited about our current television ads as well, which are part of the latest phase of "The Arts. Ask For More" PSA campaign!  Created in partnership with the NAMM Foundation and the Ad Council, the advertising agency Leo Burnett has produced these incredibly informative and entertaining tongue-in-cheek commercials. By creating spoofs of "healthy arts food products" like "Raisin Brahms," featuring the composer Johannes Brahms, and "Van Goghgurt," featuring the artist Vincent van Gogh, parents are encouraged to make sure their kids are getting their daily serving of the arts.
