Recognizing the important positive effects of arts learning in students’ lives, in July of 2010 the U.S. House of Representatives passed House Resolution #275 designating the second full week of September as National Arts in Education Week and establishing the arts as a core academic subject essential to a complete and balanced education.
Take the time during National Arts in Education Week (September 14–20) to learn about the research regarding arts in education and discover what your state, district, and school are doing to support access and participation in arts learning. The Arts Education Partnership (AEP) offers ArtsEdSearch, a searchable database of arts education research, and ArtScan, a searchable clearinghouse of state policies on the arts in education.
