Annually, each September, a week is designated by Congress as Arts in Education Week. According to the resolution, which Congress passed in 2010, the week following the second Sunday in the month of September shall be "Arts in Education Week."

Arts educators, students, parents and communities join together to celebrate this week each year. What are you going to do? If you or your organization are hosting an event, be sure to include it on Arts Meet for others to join.

If you are looking for a way to participate, consider joining Americans for the Arts to improve your arts education skills. We are hosting a Blog Salon on ARTSblog from Monday, Sept. 15 to Friday, Sept. 19 on the topic of Creative Youth Development. Additionally, you can register for a webinar on Wednesday, September 17 at 3pm EDT to learn more about Arts Education: A Shared Responsability.
