March 1 kicks off a month-long celebration of youth participation and learning in the arts. Many states, cities, and organizations have their own way of celebrating.
Here is just a random sampling of ideas I’ve seen from around the web:
1. National Young Audiences Arts for Learning Week, March 24–30
2. March is Music In Our Schools Month
4. March for the Arts in Education Month: Empowering Youth through the Arts
5. Theatre in Our Schools Month
At Americans for the Arts, we’ll be hosting a Blog Salon about early childhood education later this month (March 18–22), but for today’s kickoff of Youth Arts Month, we wanted to share something special.
Today we are releasing the first part of a new Arts Education Navigator series of e-books designed to help educators, students, and advocates navigate the complex field of arts education.
Part of our partnership with Vans Custom Culture, each e-book in the series will cover a specific topic, ensuring arts education supporters like you are equipped with the knowledge, statistics, and case-making techniques needed to effectively communicate with decision-makers.
