New Web Conference To Discuss K-12 Arts Education Policy
A new session has been added to the 2012 Web Conference Series to discuss the new K-12 Arts Education Policy Agenda being worked on by the GIA Arts Education Funders Coalition (AEFC). GIA formed the AEFC in the spring of 2012 for funders concerned with arts education. One of the purposes of the group is to investigate ways to embed the arts into current federal education policy. Working with the Penn Hill Group, an education policy firm in Washington, DC, the coalition's Advisory Committee has created an agenda that encompasses several opportunities for arts education.
If any or all of these strategies are successful, local districts will be able to access more federal funds and grow awareness and support for arts education in their states and communities.
Alex Nock, executive vice president at Penn Hill Group, and Janet Brown, president & CEO of GIA, will review the agenda and answer your questions. GIA Web Conference sessions are free to staff and board members of GIA member organizations; the fee for nonmembers is $35.
